To
The Board of Directors of the National Phonograph Company
Gentlemen:-
I am the owner of allowed claims against the North American Phonograph Company aggregating Five Hundred and Sixty Three Thousand Nine Hundred and Five Dollars and Ninety One Cents, constituting about ninety five per cent of the total claims against that company allowed by its Receiver. The Receiver has on hand now about Thirty Thousand Dollars in cash and owns a number of Phonograph patents, and stock in other phonograph companies. I offer to sell and assign to you the said claims and all my rights, title and interest therein, for Ten Thousand Dollars; One Thousand Dollars in cash and the balance in full paid stock of your company.
Yours truly
Thos. A. Edison
