Eadwaard Muybridge, Esq.,
University of Pennsylvania,
Philadelphia, Pa.
Dear Sir:--
I have received your little book on Zoopraxography, for which please accept my thanks.
I have constructed a little instrument which I call a Kinetograph, with a nickel-in-slot attachment. Some twenty-five of these have been made, but I am very doubtful if there is any commercial feature in it. I fear that they will not earn their cost. These zeotropic devices are of too sentimental a character for the public to invest in.
Yours very truly,
Thomas A. Edison
