General Notes

Note

Dear Sir: The highly successful outcome of the recent celebration of Light's Golden Jubilee was a source of much pleasure and gratification to me, and I cannot help but realize that an immense amount of thought and work was expended by those who were enthusiastically laboring behind the scenes. To those who by their effort and cooperation helped to make the movement so great a success I extend the sincere thanks and appreciation they so richly deserve, and beg that each one will accept recognition of their effective service. Yours very truly, Thomas A Edison. Photograph of original at the home of Edward L. Bernays
