Dear Sir:-
Mr. Edison has read your letter of 21st instant in regard to a jet of water being made to carry a current of high potential, and describing an experiment in that line conducted by you some ten years ago which was productive of much amusement. It is a strange coincidence, but Mr. Edison conducted an experiment in 1869, in the Round House of the C. & I. Railroad, exactly similar to the one that you describe. His experiment like your own was very successful and never failed to produce the desired effect.
Thanking you for your letter, I am
Yours very truly,
[A. O. Tate?]
Private Secretary.
