January (?) 1878

Editor of the Record-
Dear Sir
Several parties have written asking me to be present with my "Greates Show On Earth" on the 14th inst. As it is some years since I had the pleasure of visiting Great Britain, I will be there with my show and address my patrons from the ring. You will have seen by your 'exchange' that never before did I or anybody else in any country produce such a marvelous & extensive traveling ???? as I give to the public this year.
Truly yours,
P T Barnum
