Letterbook, LB-035

This letterbook covers the period December 1889-January 1890. Most of the correspondence is by Edison and Alfred O. Tate. Many of the letters relate to the manufacture and marketing of the phonograph and talking doll. There is also correspondence regarding ore milling, the purchase of mining properties, the mimeograph, and the phonoplex system. Several of the letters pertain to the use of batteries with the phonograph and phonoplex. Some of the documents deal with the payment of Edison’s taxes and other personal and financial matters. Included also are letters to the firm of Dyer & Seely about foreign and domestic patents. The front cover is labeled "Indexed General Letter Book T. A. Edison Orange N.J." The book contains 500 numbered pages and an index. Approximately 40 percent of the book has been filmed.

Letterbook, LB-036

This letterbook covers the period January 1890. Most of the correspondence is by Edison and Alfred O. Tate. Included are letters relating to the manufacture of the phonograph and talking doll and the marketing of phonographs in Japan and China. There is also correspondence regarding electric lighting, ore milling, and the purchase of mining properties. Other letters pertain to Edison’s receipt of the Volta Medal and to the fire that destroyed the first Pearl Street central station. A list of stockholders of the Edison Phonograph Works appears on page 47. The front cover is labeled "General Letter Book T. A. Edison Indexed." The book contains 501 numbered pages and an index. Approximately 50 percent of the book has been filmed.
