May 29th, 1899 letter from George Scherff to Nikola Tesla

New York, May 29th, 1899
46 & 48 E. Houston Str.

Nikola Tesla, Esq.,
Colorado Springs, Colo.

Dear Mr. Tesla:

Your telegram was received this morning, and Willie has immediately proceeded to make the four tubes as directed.

The finishing touches are being put on the condenser in sections and on the two reels to be used for the wires for the balloons. The latter have been inflated all day, but as they still seem to leak a little, they will receive another coat of varnish to-morrow morning. We have, therefore, delayed shipping the other apparatus which is to go, but everything will surely be sent off Wednesday morning by express.

The dynamometer and books by Nichols, mentioned in your last letter, have been packed up.

Respectfully,
Geo. Scherff
