February 27, 1891.
Re: Stephen A. Northrop, Fort Wayne, Indiana.
Dear Sir:-
Upon Mr. Edison’s return  to the Laboratory a few days ago after an absence of several weeks your letter of 14th instant was handed to him. I return herewith the blank which accompanied your communication and upon which Mr. Edison has written his personal opinion of “Christ and the Bible.”
In regard to the statement attributed to Mr. Edison and contained in the clipping forming part of your letter now under reply, the [illegible text] is correct, excepting that the last words should read: “including the great Engineer of the universe,” instead of: “and also for the greatest among them all the blessed God.”
Yours very truly,
(Signed A.O. Tate)
Private Secretary
