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.
