I the greatest attraction to which the 1 A men of Folsom prison have been treat- 'f i ed since we acquired a motion picture . 1 machine for their occasional enter- 5 II tainment. I wish you, or some other I' representative of your firm could have r I spent the days with us; had you wit- j; p nessed the enthusiasm of the men it would be less difficult for me to con- U vince you of their gratitude for your i P kindness."
