Numbers are all 500, 1000, 2500, or 3000. On right side of memo is a note that says [appears to relate to Porter contract, see Doc D8627ZAN]: Machine Works takes orders and [----] on 20% profit if it can make it after prices are once set. From that it will pay 1/4 of profit to Porter. Will set up and start engines. To the Machine Works, cost and profit is to be percentage[?] of the syndicate profit, and this is to be the selling price. Porter says the engine can be build for the same as the Armington & Sims. As it will be twice as economical, hence, it will or at least ought to sell for 25% advance[?] on any high speed Engine. The money of the syndicate (ends here--appears there may be writing on the back of note, but no image). Possibly pre-organization of Edison United Manufacturing Co. [updtate tc 2012]
