Dear Sir:-
Mr. Edison has asked me to acknowledge the receipt of your esteemed favor under date 7th April, in regard to Mr. Copelle and the Phonograph in Italy.
The details of the phonograph business in Europe have never been in Mr. Edison's hands, col. Gouraud having had sole charge of them. Mr. Edison is not familiar with all that has been done by Col. Gouraud in connection with the phonograph abroad, and he has referred your communication to the New York Office of the Edison United Phonograph Company, the newly formed corporation which controls the instrument in Europe.
Mr. Edison appreciates very highly the personal attention shown him while in Europe by Mr. Copello, and he trusts that the United Company may be able to arrange a place their Italian phonograph interests in Mr. Copello's hands.
Yours very truly,
A.O. Tate
