New York, January 28th, 1895.
Thomas A. Edison, Esq.,
Orange, N. J.
Dear Sir:-
We take great pleasure in writing you that our Parlor in the City of Mexico was opened Sunday, a week ago, at 6 P.M., by President General Diaz, and Mrs. Diaz and a large number of prominent people. A reception was given that lasted from 6 to 7:30 P.M. We quote from our agent's letter there, as follows:
"The President and Mrs. Diaz were so well pleased that they desire to see the Kinetoscope whenever we change views. We served a small collation at the end and everything went off smoothly and without a hitch. Everyone was deeply interested in the invention' and thoroughly pleased".
Many inquiries were made for pictures of yourself, which, unfortunately we did not send in time, and President Diaz offered to loan a small one - the only one in the City of Mexico.
We have sent them two of your large pictures, and they have probably reached them by this time.
Maguire and Baucus.
