Aug. 29, 1891. My dear Miss Field,- Your letter of 25th instant is received. I have hunted high and low for a doll suitable for your purpose and cannot find a single mechanism that would answer. The Phonograph Works have used the original tools for other purposes, and I cannot therefore duplicate the doll. I will try, however, and get one in New York, as there are several in existence. Yours very truly. Thomas A. Edison Miss Kate Field, Long Beach Hotel, LONG BEACH, L. I.
