June 24th, 1899 letter from George Scherff to Nikola Tesla

New York, June 24th, 1899
46 & 48 E. Houston Str.

Nikola Tesla, Esq.,
Colorado Springs, Colo.

Dear Mr. Tesla:

Your check of two hundred dollars for shop account was received this morning.

I regret very much to inform you that I have learned to-day, through some mistake at the factory, three hundred bottles have been forwarded to you in all, one hundred by Whitall, Tatum & Company and two hundred by Mr. Henry Allen. Mr. Allen says, he immediately telegraphed to the factory, when he heard of the mistake, but it was too late, the train had already left.

Mr. Uhlman says the work of to-day was substantially as that of yesterday, however, much progress towards finishing was made.

I inclose a statement of expenses for the week, the note from Prof. Myers referred to in my letter of yesterday and several bills.

Respectfully,
Geo. Scherff
