April 4, 1890 Everett Frazar, Esq., 124 Water Street, New York City. Dear Sir:- In further reference to your letter of 1st instant, with which was enclosed a list of parts of the phonograph ordered by a Mr. Han, in Shanghai, I have consulted Mr. Edison, and he is of the opinion that [we] ought not to supply these parts. I think that the easiest way out of this matter would be for your house to inform Mr. Han that they are authorized to supply parts for renewal purposes only, and then at such time only when actual renewal is required; that for each new part supplied the old part must be returned to your house. I return herewith Mr. Han's list. Yours truly, A.O. Tate Private Secretary.
