The Thomas A. Edison Papers Digital Edition

These three letters from Robert A. Miller, Jr., to his aunt Mina Miller Edison date from 1917 and 1931. The first letter, written from a military camp shortly after the entry of the United States into World War I, discusses Robert's hopes for a commission and his attitude toward the war. The other two letters, written in August and October 1931, refer to Edison's declining health and public sentiment regarding his imminent death.
