June 18th 1894 J. Block Esq Moscow. Russia Friend Block:- Your favor of the 19th of May was handed me this morning on my return from Ogden N.J. and in reply I beg to state that we are having a law suit to see if we cannot get the Phonograph out of the hands of the Speculators who now have it. I have a new model which runs for ½ an hour for music and one hour for talking. that records and reproduces music with as near absolute perfection as can be, and it is with this instrument that I think the Phonograph will be introduced, if ever I can get the rights in my possession Yours truly Thos A. Edison R[andolph]
