- [D8945ABC], Letter from A V Shaw, Exhibition. St Louis Electrical (1889) to Thomas Alva Edison, November 17th, 1889
- Editor's Notes
- In view of the Electrical Exhibition to be given by the St. Louis Universal Exposition Association next year, I have been importuned to wait upon you at your home in the East for the purpose of ascertaining the possibility of inducing you to honor St. Louis with your presence, and the display of some of the interesting and useful, inventions of your wonderful genius. ## I beg further to say, that the Administration sincerely regret the groundless attack made upon you by Mr. Whipple, their last Chief Electrician, and hope that such will not reflect upon them, nor in any way deter you from helping them through the coming event. ## The public have read of your greatness, and clamour for a sight of those wonderful inventions that have so astonished the world. ## Paris can see you, but St. Louis is deprived of that pleasure. The Directors of the coming exposition have promised to do their utmost to induce you to visit St. Louis next year. ## I would feel grateful if you would appoint a time and place most convenient to you, where I can confer with you upon this subject. I hardly believe you will remember the undersigned. I worked on the same circuit with you in our telegraph-operating days. I have enclosed articles cut from our Daily Papers. If you feel inclined to answer them I would be pleased to see that your reply finds the way to public observance.
