I have always remembered how my father, Thomas A. Edison, spoke of the days when he was a newspaper boy on the train running from Detroit to Port Huron. He was then only fifteen, and I have often thought that this experience aided him very much in later life"; a TLS on personal letterhead, May 28, 1963, sending thanks for a telegram on the occasion of a testimonial dinner in his honor; an Edison Botanic Research Corporation check from 1928; and a New Jersey Executive Department card.
