 [ Translated from Spanish: ]

Hello Ingmar Krause,

I am Ana Maria Latorre Lucia, I live in Spain, in the city of Teruel.

I would thank you to provide me the whole possible information on the
characteristics of my musical instrument; for this I provide this data:

DESCRIPTION: square wooden music box, measures [cm] 39.5 x 39.5 x 22
height.  It has 24 metallic teeth, a revolving disc with 4 driving
points which upon moving the handle they make the disc rotate.  In the
needle of touching puts in iron "Paten" figured and a drawing that
I believe is a fleur-de-lis.  In the part below the box is a stamp in
ink that says "Patent EHRLICHIS Brevete [s.g.d.g]. 106812"

The Ariston mark doesn't appear on any side, but from the pictures
I believe that, in fact, it is the same instrument.

DISCS: They are of punched cardboard, they measure 30 cm. diameter.
I have 36 discs, two are repeated, all bear "EHRLICH'S".  As you will
see, many are of my land, Aragon, and for that reason there are so
many jotas [dances of Aragon].  All the disks are numbered and with
titles and they are the following:
