Part Of: Edison General File Series -- 1911

[E1179-F] (E-11-79) Religion and Spiritualism

This folder consists primarily of unsolicited letters regarding Edison's opinions and widely publicized statements about immortality, theology, superstition, and related subjects. Several of the letters were written in response to a controversial interview that appeared in the January 1911 issue of The Columbian Magazine and to the subsequent criticism of Edison by Roman Catholic Cardinal James Gibbons. The selected items are a representative sample of the letters that received a reply from Edison.

Less than 10 percent of the documents have been selected. Most of the unselected items are letters that were not answered or that received a perfunctory response from Edison.
