Title

[D8020P], Letter from John S Van Gilder to Thomas Alva Edison, January 10th, 1880

Editor's Notes

Noticed some papers that didn't burn. Suggests collecting cards, signs, advertising circulars & see if can find one with similar glazing that won't burn. Marg: "Paper is sometimes [----ed] & the ash will not burn, but it is pure carbon that is desired not ash which is nonconductor."
