Richard Townley Haines, Esq.,
Sec’y., N.Y. Phonograph Company,
New York City,
Dear Sir:-
In reply to your letter of 27th ultimo, I beg to say that some time ago Mr. Edison promised to present a phonograph to the New York Infirmary of the Diseases of the Nose and Throat where some very interesting and successful experiments had been conducted by Dr. J. Mount Bleyer, who is a member of the official staff of the Infirmary. The nature of these experiments necessitated the use of an extremely sensitive apparatus, which was made under Mr. Edison’s personal direction. It was my intention to have called upon you in regard to this presentation, but through a misunderstanding with he Works of the instrument was shipped before I had an opportunity of doing so. The purpose of the presentation is purely for scientific investigation, the results of which it is confidently believed will be of great benefit not only to suffering humanity but to all those who are interested in the development of the phonograph.
Yours very truly,
Private Sec’y
