Automatic Phonograph Exhibition Company, Felix Gottschalk, Esq., President. Dear Sir:- Referring to our instructions for you to place to the credit of Messrs. Robinson & Blodgett, trustees, certain moneys which we have heretofore sent you our checks for, and referring more particularly to our request for you to place one certain sum of $7,500 to the credit of said trustees, we hereby request you to transfer $3,500 of that amount to Thomas A. Edison, as of the date on which you received our check for the said $7,500. Please open an account with Mr. Edison personally, and place the said sum of $3,500 to his credit. That money was advanced by him and through a misunderstanding was, under our instructions, placed to the credit of the said trustees, where as Mr. Edison now claims and as we are willing to admit, the same should be placed to his credit. Kindly notify us and Mr. Edison when this is done, and send a copy of your letter to Mr. Edison to Mr. S. B. Eaton. Very truly yours,
