November 17th, 1899 letter from George Scherff to Nikola Tesla

New York, Nov. 17th, 1899
46 & 48 E. Houston Street

Nikola Tesla, Esq.,
Colorado Springs, Colo.

Dear Mr. Tesla:

Your two telegrams, one stating that I should return the money to Mr. Loewenstein and that Mr. Uhlman should go ahead on the modified oscillator, the other one directing me to draw the necessary money from the Chatham Bank, were received this Friday afternoon.

The fifty dollars have been at once sent back to Mr. Loewenstein by postal money order.

Mr. Uhlman says he understands the directions in the telegram to mean that he is to go ahead with the work on all parts of the oscillator embodying the features of the independent break.

The work to-day is on overhauling the returned oscillator, making a new pump for the same and on the castings of the new machine.

I inclose some press clippings and three letters obtained to-day at the Waldorf. Besides these there were two communications from charitable societies, to which I have replied as before.

The same article which appeared in last Sunday's Herald, which I forwarded, seems to have been published in all parts of the country.

Respectfully,
Geo. Scherff
