August 14, 1893. My dear Lombard,- The phonograph record which is referred to in your letter to me of 22nd ultimo was duly received at the Laboratory in good condition and listened to with a great deal of pleasure. Please convey to Mr. E. S. Willard my sincere thanks for his kindness in furnishing me with so good a record of his voice; his courtesy is much appreciated. The cylinder has been placed in my private collection and is considered a valuable addition thereto. With thanks to yourself for your kind offices in the matter I am, yours very truly, [Thomas A. Edison?] Thomas R. Lombard, Esq., Gen'l. Manager, The North American Phonograph Company, Chicago, Illinois.
