April 19th 1890 John Davis Thomas, Esq., No. 52 North Terrace, Adelaide, Australia. Dear Sir:- Replying to your letter of 16th instant, to Mr. Edison, I take pleasure in informing you that some very successful experiments have been made by members of your profession in New York, in connection with recording heart-beats and the action of the lungs upon the Phonograph. It is altogether probable that within the next few months you will be able to obtain a Phonograph in Australia, when you can experiment in the same direction for yourself. Yours very truly, A.O. Tate Private Secretary
