October 3 6, 1902. S. Bergmann, Esq., Berlin, Germany. Dear Sir:- In accordance with an arrangement existing between Thomas A. Edison and myself, relating to his new Storage Battery and in consideration of your attention to the manufacturing end of the business in the several different countries, and such other helpful assistance you may render when called upon, I agree to give you from my portion of the promotion of said Battery, as follows: From Germany, 20% leaving Edison's interest 50%, mine 30%. On all other countries in Europe, excepting England and France, 10%, leaving Edison's interest 50%, mine 45%. I further agree that if the promotion of France justifies it, I will give you a further 5% profit from that Country. This applies only to the Continent of Europe. What is meant by me as to the manufacturing end of the business, is that upon the formation of a Company and a factory is required, that you will, if I so desire, go ahead and attend to the installing of necessary and bring to full operation such factory and attend to all details until such factory is a going concern.
