July 14th, 1899 letter from George Scherff to Nikola Tesla

New York, July 14th, 1899
46 & 48 E. Houston Str.

Nikola Tesla, Esq.,
Colorado Springs, Colo.

Dear Mr. Tesla:

All the men, Mr. Uhlman says, are still occupied on the second independent break. A representative of the Audit Company, whose card is inclosed, called to-day to obtain the names of the officers of the Nikola Tesla Company to be published in a Directory of Directors. Not knowing if you wish to give the information, I told the gentleman that you were absent, and he then asked me to write you, as the book is to go to press very shortly. Can I give the desired information?

Besides the two inclosed letters the mail to-day contained again two appeals for aid, one from the Presbyterian Hospital and the other from the Fresh Air Fund Society, to which I have answered as before to other similar letters. Is this right or shall I send them?

Respectfully,
Geo. Scherff
