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.

Letterbook, LB-038 This letterbook covers the period February-March 1890. Most of the letters are by Alfred O. Tate. There is also correspondence by Edison, Charles Batchelor, and John F. Randolph. Many of the letters relate to the manufacture and marketing of the phonograph and talking doll. Included are letters about the coin-operated phonograph, the operations of the Edison Phonograph Works and the Edison Phonograph Toy Manufacturing Co., the demonstration of the phonograph in Russia, and the presentation of phonographs to William II, Emperor of Germany, and other foreign dignitaries. Other letters pertain to electric lighting, the phonoplex system, mining, and ore milling. There are also several long letters written to Edison while he was inspecting mines near Charlotte, North Carolina. Beginning on page 330 is a four-page list of experimental accounts from January to March 1890. The book contains 500 numbered pages and an index. Approximately 40 percent of the book has been filmed.

Included are letters about the coin- operated phonograph, the operations of the recently organized Edison United Phonograph Co., and a plan to record the voice of British Prime Minister William E. Gladstone. Other letters concern the phonoplex system, mining and ore milling, electric lighting, and the Edison-Lalande battery. Some of the letters pertain to the stock transactions of the various phonograph and electric light companies. Included also are letters to the firm of Dyer & Seely regarding patent applications and other patent matters. The book contains 499 numbered pages and an index.
