Dear Sir:-
With reference to your letter of 17th instant to Sir. Edison, asking if our method of labelling musical records is patentable, and if so whether he considered it worth while taking out a patent, I beg to inform you that Mr. Edison has returned your communication marked “no.” It is not quite plain which of the two questions embodied in your enquiry Mr. Edison intended this reply for, or whether he meant to cover them both, but it is perhaps sufficiently comprehensive for your purpose.
Yours truly,
Thomas Maguire
