Department of the Interior,
United States Patent Office,
Washington, D. C.,
May 5, 1900.
Thomas A. Edison,
Orange, New Jersey,
Dear Sir:-
The Patent Office is preparing an exhibit for the Pan-American Exposition to be opened at Buffalo about April 1st, 1901, and since it is desirable to convey to the public the importance of our patent system, the latest advances in the arts and sciences should be illustrated.
Recognizing the great strides that have been taken by you, and the interest the public have manifested in models of your patent at past expositions, I write to ask if you would be willing to furnish an exhibit relating to such inventions, as would in your opinion, be of general interest.
Should you be willing to oblige the office in this respect, such exhibit would be accepted with the understanding of course, that it be preserved intact, and returned to you, if desired, in good condition, in good condition after the exposition shall have closed.
Very respectfully,
C. H. Duell
Commissioner.
