[LB026273], Letter from Thomas Alva Edison to Henry Bergh, Jr., American Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animalsls, July 13th, 1888
Editor's Notes
[SIGNED letter] "I have lately been trying various experiments on dogs with a view to finding how great a pressure and quantity of electricity it takes to kill them with the view not only of determining the physiological data the question involves but also to arrive at the best means of safeguard to the lives of men engaged in electric lighting business I already know how much current is required to produce instant death within certain rough limits that I am desirous of narrowing. Can you therefore aid me to obtain some goodsized animals for the purpose of completing these experiments as early as possible." Yours very truly [signed] TAE
