[TAE Marginalia] <Bergman I have 2 or 3 important cases before German office + I have had told Dyer to write his man to show Senbel everything + get his assistance. They are involved being of a chemical nature + Senbel may have to get the assistance of a practical chemist to help him E> Berlin 7th March 1901 Thomas A. Edison, Esq., Orange, New Jersey, U.S.A. My dear Edison, I telegraphed you a few days ago as follows,-"Any new German Patent applications you are making advise you strongly to have attended to here by Seubel." which no doubt you understood. I simply want to impress upon you that you must let your German Patents go through our hands if you do not want to make the same experiences as you did with a number of your German applications. That what I suggest is one of the greatest importance to you we have proved through the Ore Milling cases, which nearly all went through successfully in spite of prior publication. You are no doubt aware that the Giant Rolls Patent has been finally granted. Of course you understand there will be no kind of charges on our part besides the official fees, and we have now, besides Seubel and myself, our own Patent Lawyer are thus in shape to take care of your interests. The pleasant news you have indicated in your last letter that Dick would soon bring something over that would please me has put on the tip toe of expectation. I can only repeat to you that if you have something really good, that I and my concern here can, as far as Germany and Austria are concerned, handle any enterprise and make more money in quicker time for you than any one else on the continent. We have at our command the most important Banks in Germany therefore give me the first change in Germany and Austria and your interests I assure you, will be taken care of. Yours very truly, S. Bergmann
