March 28, 90 Charles W. Hastings, Esq., Missouri & Kansas Telephone Company, Wales Building, Kansas City, Mo. My dear Sir:- I have received your letter of 8th instant, enclosing a clipping from "The Kansas City Journal," wherin is reproduced your excellent article entitled "The Photo-Phono-Trope," originally published on the 12th February, 1886, which I have not had before the pleasure of reading. I peruse it now with much interest, referring as it does to a combination upon the perfection of which I have spent considerable time. I hope that in the near future you may have an opportunity of seeing my method of accomplishing a result that you have already described from imagination with remarkable accuracy. Yours very truly, Thomas A. Edison
