May 20th, 1899 letter from George Scherff to Nikola Tesla

New York, May 20th, 1899.
46 & 48 E. Houston Str.

Mr. Nikola Tesla
Colorado Springs, Colo.

Dear Mr. Tesla:

I am sorry I cannot add much to my report of yesterday.

The sketches mentioned were not quite ready last night and could only be mailed this morning. The work on the condenser is being pushed. Mr. Clark is milling down the teeth of the disk for the brake and Mr. Czito is fixing up the bearings. Willy has finished grinding out the necks of the bottles and is now making salt solution.

The rubber solution for the balloons seems to work better than the first; a few more coats of it will probably make them tight.

Respectfully,
Geo. Scherff
