Bridgeport, Conn.
Dearest sir,
I am a writer of the Bridgeport Telegraph and the word of your museum has travelled fast and I have to admit, this circus of yours, has gotten my interest peaked. Therefore, I am humbly writing you, in hopes of reaching an agreement regarding me doing a piece for the paper, about what magic people may find in your shows and the man behind, and how he managed to bring this wonder to the public.
Instead of focusing on just your circus, I was thinking of looking beyond and to how it became and to do so, I would need a look into the mastermind behind it all.
If you would be so kind to accept this invitation to meet sometime in the near future, I would like to personally ensure the public is served a proper piece concerning the revolutionary currently changing the world.
In advance I would like to thank you and I truly hope to hear from you soon.
Faithfully,
Paul Bent.
