National Phonograph Co.,
Orange. N. J.
Gentlemen:
Providing you will turn over to me all profits accruing to your company after paying all legitimate expenses, I will agree to give [you?] the benefit of my experiments and any improvements that I may make in connection with Phonographs and adjuncts thereto, up to such time as you will be perfectly fitted out with proper Phonographs and adjuncts to enable you to do business, this arrangement to continue one year from February 10th, 1896, and thereafter it can be terminated by either party upon 30 days written notice.
This letter is written you to confirm the verbal understanding reached between the representatives of your company and myself sometime ago.
Yours very truly,
Thomas A Edison
