[FINANCIAL TABLE]
Anything else due Mr Edison on this Phonograph transaction is not clear in my mind as I have written and Telephoned several time to get this matter straight on my books and have been jumped on by Mr Edison for not having it done and the only answer I could give him was that I had written you in regard to it and you was going to send it to me.
Will you please hurry up Mr Benson, and Mr L. F. Douglas regarding the amount due Mr Edison, or if you prefer I will send the letters to them from here signed by Mr Edison if you will give me their addresses.
Awaiting your reply I remain
Yours truly
J. F. Randolph
