Title: [D8605A], Letter from J H Van Zandt to Thomas Alva Edison, January 7th, 1886
Editor's Notes: Will you be kind enough to inform me if you do not send an electric light up in the air above Menlo Park on clear nights and what distance up it goes? I claim that you do and another party claims not. Please settle the controversy. [TAE Marg.:] "No I do not. This is probably Venus, which is abnormally bright now."
