- Editor's Notes
- I cannot thank you sufficiently for writing to me so kind an acknowledgement of my book about the Wonders of the World--knowing as I do how you must have been driven for time during your all too brief stay in London. ## As I am in hopes that you may have come to realize, if but by a momentary turning of the leaves, here and there, how heartily I appreciate your career and achievements, I count upon your believing in the sincerity with which I assure you that I prize the words you wrote to me and am grateful to you for having written them--yeilding me as they did the next best pleasure to the one I had been eagerly looking forward to, that of meeting you for a moment face to face, of grasping your hand and hearing the sound of your voice. ## Colonel Gouraud could not have been kinder in strivivng to secure for me that opportunity, if only it had been possible. And, seeing that it was not possible, you yourself most generously gave me the valued solace of hearing, from your you under your own hand. ## As I don't want you to regard me as ungrateful for your so doing --and I might seem to be so if I were to remain altogether silent--I venture to write this note if only to assure you of how heartily I thank you, and to add that, with the truest respect and admiration, I am yours, dear Mr Edison, ever, most sincerely
