19th May, 1891. 
Edison United Phonograph Company, 
Mill, Building, New York City 
Dear Sirs:- 
I enclose herewith another letter received by Mr. Edison from William E. Curtis, Esq., of the Bureau of American Republics, regarding the shipment of a phonograph to Chili, together with copy of my reply to same. You will see that the phonograph to which Mr. Curtis referred in his letter of 1st instant is the one that was promised some time ago to the University of Chili, about which we have had some correspondence. It seems that the President of Chili is desirous of receiving from secretary Blaine a phonographic message when the machine in question is shipped, and Mr. Curtis asks how this could be arranged. Will you kindly communicate direct with Mr. Curtis, and very much oblige 
Yours truly, 
A.O. Tate  
Private Secretary
