Did you know …
That famous inventor Thomas Edison was also a prolific letter writer? It’s true!
Nearly every day of his adult life, Edison would pen a letter either in blood or blood-colored ink and hide it somewhere in Nikola Tesla’s home or workspace. The letters would always be very short, and were variations on “I know what you did!!!” or “I’m watching you!!!” or “Sleep tight!!!” or that sort of thing.
Edison never let on that he was the letter writer, and even went so far as to hire a private detective “on poor Nikola’s behalf” to find the source of the notes. Of course the detective was paid to not find anything, and Tesla spent years attempting to damage the portion of his brain that allowed him to read.
