Nov. 25, 1892. Mr. Thomas Mubey, No. 30 East 31st Street, New York City. Dear Sir:- Your letter of 23rd instant addressed to Mr. Edison has come to hand his absence. In regard to the subject matter of your communication, I regret to say that Mr. Edison would be unable to do anything for the relief of your father’s deafness. It has occurred to me that perhaps your letter was suggested by a [illegible] of the newspaper articles which have appeared recently relative to the utilization of the phonograph as a cure for deafness. If so, I beg to inform you that Mr. Edison has not investigated this subject, and has no knowledge, confirmatory or otherwise, of the experiments said to have been conducted by certain physicians in this direction indicated, other than that [gleaned?] from the press. Yours truly, Private Secretary.
