February 19, 1891.
Samuel Insull, Esq.,
Edison Building Broad Street,
New York City.
Dear Sir:-
On the 6th day of July, 1889, you sent to the German National Bank, of Newark, N.J., a letter, copy of which I enclose herewith, covering check for $5,000 to be deposited to the credit of the Edison Phonograph Company. There are no records to show on what account this money was received by the Company. Of course we know it was toy phonograph royalty and that the check came through the hands of the North Am. Phonograph Co., but we should have something in writing which can be filed as a reference. Have you any papers? Did you [give?] the N.A.P. Co. a receipt for the check? If so, I could get a copy of the receipt, which possibly may explain the payment. As it [stands?] now there is no record beyond the check itself.
Yours very truly,
A. O. Tate
Private Secretary.
