July 25th, 1891. Charles L. Smythe, Esq., 241 South Fifth Street, Philadelphia, Pa., Dear Sir:- I have been advised by the Edison Phonograph Works that you telephoned them the other day from New York, asking them if they would build for you a coin slot machine which was designed to release a sheet of paper and an envelope. Before we can consider this proposition intelligently, it will be necessary for us to know exactly where you would require manufacture to be carried on. Our factory is fully equipped for this class of work., and if you will give me full information on the subject, I will communicate with you further. Yours truly, A.O. Tate Secy No enc.
