Even as much as I travel on planes, it was an impressive thing to me - it was to Marcelle and I am sure it would be of considerable interest to the general public.
On such an occasion you could bring some of your officials here, such as Carlos and Mrs. Osuno, Manual Arrigunaga, etc. Such a ceremony could attract attention for picture publicity releases and could be a major feature in taking full advantage of publicizing the fact that the DC-7 will shorten the time for the trip between Los Angeles and Mexico.
Anyone would think I was in the business of selling watches or was trying to promote a dinner party here at the hotel. The reason I suggest the hotel isn't from our standpoint but rather from yours. It is a much better back drop for publicity and as an eye catcher for pictures than some commercial place. It also would be a lift for your pilots to come here for a little celebration rather than to a hotel with less prestige and mingle with the kind of people who are spending money to travel first class.
On a high note of enthusiasm, I reluctantly send you these suggestions with my best wishes for a very Happy New Year.

Yours faithfully,
