Jesse W. Seligman, Esq.,
Mills Building,
New York City
My Dear Sir:-
Here is another letter from Mr. J.H. Block, of St. Petersburg, Russia, enclosing some extracts of some press reports of a recent exhibition given in St. Petersburg of the Phonograph.
I wrote you the other day about these machines which are being exhibited in Europe, and we have reason to congratulate ourselves that the whole of the machines embodied in Colonel Gouraud's order, were not placed under his control to be sent out for exhibition purposes.
If all these machines had been placed in hands so incompetent as those which are manipulating the instruments now in Russia, our business would have received a blow from which we would never have recovered.
Yours very truly,
