January 20, 1891. Edison United Phonograph Co., Mills Building, New York City Dear Sirs:- Referring to my account outstanding with CO. Gouraud, I beg to advise you that on the 18th of October last I received a letter from him in which he stated that by the same mail he was writing to you to pay me a certain amount of the amount payable by yourselves to him, and that he had sent you a form of receipt for the purpose. Can you inform me when the amount in settlement of this account is to be tendered [me?]? Col. Gouraud did not state, nor am I aware what moneys he referred to as being due him by yourselves, nor did he name any definite time when the account would be settled. His language was: “I am writing by this mail to the United Company to pay you this amount out of the amount payable by that Company to me.” Yours very truly, Thomas A. Edison
