[TAE Marginalia] >It may cure cancer but it will if long continued make very bad non-healing burns, but these may not be as bad as the cancer E<
Aug 31 1903
Thos A. Edison
Orange, New Jersey
Dear Sir:-
In the interest of humanity, and also because of my own case in particular I wish to know if the articles (like the enclosed) being published all over the country are authentic. I am being treated by x-ray for supposed malignant cancer. I have little faith in it but with your knowledge of the x-ray do you consider it a dangerous experiment? Pardon me for troubling you with the inquiry but I shall feel thankful  for your reply.
Yours truly,
Mrs. C.R. Corning
