My Dear Maguire:--
I want to obtain in one each of the following musical cylinders which are sold by the Columbia Phonograph Company. I do not wish them to know for whom they are purchased, and if you can obtain them and ship them to me at the Laboratory I would be very much indebted. They issue a catalogue which you can easily get hold of and if you will advise me of the amount necessary to cover the purchase I will forward it to you immediately.

I am sorry that we have had to keep you in suspense so long in regard to your coming to New York; it is very probable that we will want you within a day or two.. I will telegraph you as soon as I am advised.
Yours very truly,
A.O. Tate
