August 12th, 1899 letter from George Scherff to Nikola Tesla

New York, Aug. 12th, 1899
46 & 48 E. Houston Str.

Nikola Tesla, Esq.,
Colorado Springs, Colo.

Dear Mr. Tesla:

Your note of Aug. 7th, with checks for Mr. Unger, the Hammerschlag Mfg. Co., Edison Illuminating Company and for laboratory expenses, was received this morning. The small bills I shall pay in cash, as directed.

The work of the shop, Mr. Uhlman says, is on the castings, disk, brush-holders and switch of the third independent break and development of the pump. The speed of the second break is now up to 1900 revolutions per minute.

I inclose a statement of expenses for this week.

Permit me to inquire about your health. I hope that you may speedily recover from your cold. 

Respectfully and sincerely,
Geo. Scherff
