This is something interesting.  First off, for fun, two Edison replies 
which are quite good.
One to Electrical Review, written on the same letter sent to him:  "YOU 
HAVE TESLA THAT OUGHT TO SATISFY YOU" (in regard for a request to 
comment about X-Rays) and more so on a related topic, more calmly,
"...Tesla is an experimenter of the highest type and may produce in time 
all that he says he can."

    I can't make out all of the words in the rest of this note, which is 
exceedingly interesting in that it appears to refute at least some of 
the claims of those who demonize Edison in his relations with Tesla.  
Are you able to read it all? 

    The last sketch refers to a "Thomson Universal Tube" - do you know 
any more about that?  It is also interesting in that it shows a 
"REGULATOR" in series with the primary of the transformer, just as the 
"pole pig" crowd are now using.  Nothing new under the sun!
