New York, November 12th 1892 Christchurch New Zealand Novr 1st 1892 The Secretary Edison United Phonograph Co: NEW YORK Dear Sir:- About twelve months ago I purchased in Sydney from McMahan one of your Phonographs, I paid 250 pounds for it, and have been delivering lectures, and exhibiting it in this colony. When I purchased it, I instructed my solicitor to ascertain that the vender had a legal right to sell, and as he was satisfied I completed the purchase, recently a Professor Archibald arrived and advertised himself as your sole Agent for Australia in New Zealand, and he also threatened to take out an injunction against me. Will you kindly inform me by return mail whether Archibald is your Agent, and also whether which I have is under interdiction. I have no wish to act dishonestly or in an underhanded manner,. If Archibald's statements are incorrect, will you allow me to publicly contradict them. Yours faithfully. George Kelly Will you also state whether you will supply me with high class Phonograms, Address Chapel Street, St. Albans Christchurch, New Zealand
