March 20 Sunday – In Vienna, Austria, Sam added a PS to his Mar. 17 letter to H.H. Rogers

P.S. But really you should come yourself—for some good sense and good diplomacy are necessary, on account of the promised auxiliary invention. You might find it worth while to wait to include it in the present Option, and you are the very man to know how to make them do it.

If there’s war here, go to Germany. You can see the machine in practical operation there, and you will not need to visit Austria (or what’s left of it) at all.

Parliament meets to-morrow afternoon—and there’ll be music. I’ve got a front seat for the season (which will be short, perhaps.)

I will send you my Option in another envelop, registered. I keep a stamped copy of it.

P.P.S. Mr. Kleinberg would like to have a third of the American stock in place of $500,000 cash, but I told him that could be talked when my principal arrives from New York—I couldn’t say, myself [MTHHR 327-33]. Note: Sam enclosed ten sheets of questions and answers from Kleinberg. The option Sam arranged would not be exercised as Rogers felt the American market was too limited. Luckily for Sam, his guardian angel Rogers steered him away from such investments.
