June 28th, 1899 letter from George Scherff to Nikola Tesla

New York, June 28th, 1899
46 & 48 E. Houston Str.

Nikola Tesla, Esq.,
Colorado Springs, Colo.

Dear Mr. Tesla:

Your telegram to send the pipes and check-book was received this morning. I accordingly communicated at once by telephone with Prof. Myers, who said the pipes would be expressed this evening. He also told me he had just received word from his home that the balloons are almost finished and will be shipped to-day or to-morrow.

Mr. Uhlman says it was impossible to finish the clockworks to-day and, although most of the men are occupied on them and the work on the independent break has been partially laid aside in order to hurry this job, they cannot be sent off before tomorrow. He also says that he is working on the design of the break with constant overflow feature.

I send inclosed the check-book and a bill from Patterson, Gottfried & Hunter.

Respectfully,
Geo. Scherff
