Allan Danvers, Esq.,
Managing Director & Chief Electrician,
The Anglo-Portugese Telephone Co., Limited,
Lisbon, Portugal.
My dear Sir,-
About two years ago you addressed a phonogram to Mr. Edison, conjointly with Mr. Souza, and the latter’s expert, who were passing through Lisbon on their way to South America. It reached here in first class condition and has interested a great many people, coming as it did from such a distant point. I have thought that you might be interested in learning how successful Mr. Edison has been with this process or reduplication, and I have therefore forwarded to you four copies of your original phonogram, which I trust will reach your hands in safety. These were made yesterday after the original had been in constant use for about nineteen months.
Yours very truly,
Private Secretary.
