THOMAS A. EDISON Edison Building-Broad Street NEW YORK July 13th, 1893. W. R. Smith, Esq., Division Operator, Pennsylvania Railroad Co., Allegheny, Pa. Dear Sir:-- Mr. Logue has referred to me your letter to him of 2nd inst. We will purchase the three sets of Phonoplex instruments which you kindly forwarded at Mr. Logue's request, at half price. We cannot pay more than this for the reason that we are now having our instruments manufactured by a new concern whose prices are away below what we have been paying. Please advise me if this is satisfactory, and oblige, Yours very truly, AO. Tate M.
