Nov. 23, 1891. 
Simeon Mills, Esq., Vice President, 
The State Historical Society of Wisconsin,  
Madison, Wis. 
Dear Sir:- 
With reference to your inquiry concerning electricity, addressed to Mr. Edison, I beg to inform you that at the present time no one really knows what electricity is. Mr. Edison, however, regards it as a condition of matter rather than matter itself.  
Yours truly, 
A. O. Tate 
Private Secretary.
