I have the second letter, mentioning Lumière's Cinématographe, the first "real" cinema as we know it today. Written only days after Keith's Union Square Theatre in New York opened, this letter is of truly historical interest.

Here are a couple more Bacigalupi items.......

Thanks for the excellent added pictures!
I especially like the paper encircling the cylinder box..completely covered with contemporary prices and information!
