THOMAS A. EDISON
Edison Building-Broad Street
NEW YORK
July 12th, 1893.
E. A. Benson, Esq.,
Omaha, Neb.
Dear Sir:--
I have received your letter of the 7th inst. in regard to the Kinetograph. I saw Mr. Edison about ten days ago and he told me then that the twenty-five Kinetographs would be ready about the end of this month, and that you we could have a hundred more within thirty days thereafter. I think the time which he names for the delivery of the second lot is too short, but any way I am going to go ahead and try to get the instruments. I believe we will have no difficulty in making an arrangement with Mr. Edison to extend beyond the World's Fair. I do not believe that Mr. Dick will be successful in completing his arrangements. He has done nothing up to date and a short time ago he went to Mexico on some other business.
Yours very truly,
[A.O Tate]
