H. E. Dick, 161-163 W. Jackson Boul. Chicago, May, 31st, 1902. Mr. Thomas A. Edison, Orange, N. J. My Dear Edison:-- I enclose you clippings from yesterday's Daily News, American and Times-Herald. Bergmann has been premature in giving out that he wants is to manufacture the battery and I do not understand why he should assert himself in this manner at this time. It is surprising how so many men are ready to declare themselves in print when it is not justified. I expected to leave today for Orange but there is a very important matter on with The North American T. & T. Co. and Mr. Oudahy asked me to remain a few days longer. If I do not enthuse over the battery you will understand it is only what I have always expected for I believe you will remember that I never have been of but one opinion regarding the successful outcome of the undertaking. With best wishes, I am Sincerely, H E Dick [illegible marginlia]
