Displayed is a page from a signed Thomas Edison handwritten letter as part of an original card. Edison (1842-1931) invented the phonograph, the motion picture camera, and early used electric light bulbs. He created the first film studio and owned 1,093 U.S. Patents. The offered Edison letter measures approx. 5x7", on tan, lined paper. Edison wrote the letter with a gray, graphite pencil. The letter is Page 2 of a two-page letter. The letter reads, "to brace the support, also to slashing of the water against the support __ on till you have got a reasonably good support. 10ft or even 7ft deep from water line will be deep enough."

The paper has a number of rips, a few stains, and what appear to be remnants of another page, possibly Page 1 of this same letter. The paper has darkened over time, but the writing remains easily legible, albeit with some words missing because of the aforementioned rips. The letter is affixed to a two-sided 8x10" display that includes two black & white photos of Edison, an image of a lightbulb, two facsimile Edison signatures and some detailed information about Edison's development of the lightbulb. The letter comes with a JSA LOA which states, "The body of the note was penned in the hand of Thomas Edison and Thomas Edison signed his name as 'E.'"
