Geo. N. Mc.Cain Esq.,
Harrisburgh [Harrisburg], Pa.
Dear Sir :-
Your favor of the 15th came duly to hand, and in reply I beg to state that the trouble is that the Courts rejected my bid and I did not get any of the old stuff. This phonograph affair has been a very bad one, and illustrates how speculators can ruin a legitimate thing. I not only lost all that was paid, but a large sum besides.
Yours very truly,
Thos A Edison
