\nDear Sir:-
\nWe hand you herewith, a copy of letter received from E.D. Easton of Washington, D.C. The original is evidently a circular, as it is not addressed to any particular person, and has been turned out upon the Mimeograph. We therefore presume that similar copies have been sent to all of Phonograph Companies and have communicated with some of them for information; meanwhile we should be pleased to receive any instructions in the matter, which you may see fit to issue.
\nYours very truly,
\n[Signed]
\nTREASURER. Letterhead Columbia Phonograph Company
