Mills Building,
New York City
Dear Sirs:-
My agent in Antwerp, Belgium, has in his possession 7 1/2 barrels of phonograph cylinders that were sent to him from Paris, the same having been originally shipped from here by the Edison Phonograph Works intended for use at the Paris Exposition; they did not reach there, however, util after the Exposition was over.
I have thought that instead of having these blanks returned to America, the opportunity would be a good one for your London office to obtain a supply, of which they are constantly in need. I would, therefore, request that you authorize me to instruct my agent to forward the blanks in question to London. An early reply will much oblige.
Yours very truly,
Thomas A. Edison
