Dear sir:- \n
I have your favor of the 9th. I have delayed going over to see you regarding the proposed arrangement of handling the foreign Phonograph business, until we could see our agents, and make certain inquiries abroad. We have gone over the proposed agreement, which you sent me some days ago, very carefully, and after due consideration, have reached the conclusion that under the terms proposed by you, we could not work the territory, and we cannot therefore see our way to accepting the arrangement. \n
Yours very truly, \n
Thos A Edison\n
