Aug, 18th, 1891. Thomas A. Edison, Esq., Ogdensburgh,N.J. My dear Mr. Edison:- I have been talking to Walter Miller tonight about the duplicating business, and I feel pretty well satisfied that if it remains at the Laboratory or at the Phonograph Works, inside of a very few months there will be a number of people go into the duplicating business, and use practically the same machines you use. As you know, the factory over on Bloomfield Ave., the Ink Factory, is vacant. I think from the letter that we received from the Phonograph Companies, that we are going to do quite a large business in these duplicate records. They all have expressed themselves as being highly pleased with the samples which were sent them, and we would have had orders before this, but we have only just got a list of music completed, and are sending it out to-morrow. Yours very truly,
