A historic early letter showing EdisonÕs constant hands on business skills even to his financial supporter and motivator of the light bulb. Edison was challenged by G. P. Lowery, an attorney with Western Union to, Ò...undertake an investigation of the electric light...Ó that pushed Edison to the development of the practical incandescent light bulb. Lowery persuaded Western Union and other wealthy benefactors to support Edison. A superb association and a most handsome letter.
