It does seem likely that Edison's PR and Sales departments handled the EPM in general, although I would assume that Edison took a personal interest in those articles and issues that may have been of a more personal nature. I would think that the January 1915 issue would be in this category. I seem to recall that in issues regarding the fire, his infamous scorched portrait with his "didn't touch me" was made much of. On the other hand, he certainly would have had his hands full with the mess and the salvage and reconstruction efforts, so Tesla's comment could certainly have been posted without his awareness. Either way, it still demonstrates Tesla's thoughts for Edison at that time.
I'd be interested as well to learn more about this from other list members who have some insight into this subject, as these are only my own uninformed conclusions.
