Hussey, in part: "Your husband was evidently a son of the Mr. Hussey whom I particularly remember as being at Menlo Park. I regret that I cannot definitely recollect your husband, but he was undoubtedly in the Laboratory in Orange, N.J., when I first moved to Orange. I find also that he was an associate member of the Edison Pioneers. I regret very much that the error was made and published in the papers." Marked "Ediphoned" in the lower left, indicating that the text was dictated by Edison prior to its being typed. In fine condition, with a light paperclip impression to the top edge. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope.
