Visited the Morse today and the new wing is wonderful. The living room grouping includes the Four Seasons windows and the Feeding the Flamingos window, that I had only seen before in books. They actually brought tears to my eyes they are so beautiful. The Lightner in a few days.

I was in St. Augustine today and visited the Lightner Museum. I tried to get some good pictures of all sides of the Edison Idelia, which isn't easy through the glass box. Please see below. I think the presentation plate says: To William H. Taft with the best wishes of Thomas A. Edison". Like John said before, the reproducer and crank are not correct, but otherwise it's in great condition.

Hope you enjoyed your visit! The Lightner expressed interest in completing the machine with the proper-finish reproducer(s) and crank. The horn and crane are in storage. If anyone can help supply those parts, please contact the Lightner or myself.
