Sept. 9th, 1891. 
Gen’l. C. H. Barney, 
Windsor Hotel, 
Montreal, CANDADA. 
Dear Sir:- 
I have your letter of 31st ultimo in regard to an exhibition of the phonograph which is being given on the streets of Montreal. You omitted to enclose a copy of the hand bill which is being distributed. I wish you would very kindly supply the omission so that I can take the matter up with Mr. Bombard. It is a great pity that these mountebank exhibitions should be permitted. I have taken the liberty of sending your letter under reply to Mr. Lombard and I have told him that I will communicate with him further as soon as I receive the hand bill in question. 
Please accept my thanks for having called my attention to the matter and believe me to be 
Yours very truly, 
A.O. Tate 
Private Secretary.
