19 August 1891 H.C. Ware Esq. Edison Phonograph Works. Orange N.J. Dear Sir,- We have in the Laboratory have a battery-motor phonograph which runs in a very unsatisfactory manner in addition to that it is not sufficient to do the work that I require to be done there. I want a battery machine sent to the Laboratory and wish that you would see that it is placed there tomorrow or next day. Yours very truly Private Secretary
