Sept. 8, 1891. N. E. Smith, Esq., Chief Train Dispatcher, New York, New Haven & Hartford R. R. Co., New Haven, Conn. My dear Sir:- In reply to your letter of 5th instant, I beg to say that there is no immediate prospect of your being able to set one of the new phonographs. If you contemplate purchasing I would advise you to buy the machines now on the market, unless you feel inclined to wait for a very long and very indefinite period. Yours very truly, AO Tate
