Sorry Steven, it's the Writings of Charles S. Peirce, A Chronological
Edition.
on page 422 Peirce gives a description and two drawings (for an AND and an
OR gate) together with the electrical batteries and all. On page 423 there
is a reproduction of the original manuscript page. The letter is worth
reading. Really makes one very sad. See further:

Dear List,
There is a very nice and copyright free bio of Peirce from NOAA that I
have copied into Panopedia for reference here:
http://www.panopedia.org/index.php/Charles_Sanders_Peirce#NOAA_Giants_of_Science
The article is unattributed and makes the following claim, that
Peirce was:
" ... first to conceive the design and theory of an electric
switching computer"
Now, I am not familiar with this claim - can anyone justify it with
references? Better still, can anyone identify the author?
With respect,
Steven
