October 13th, 1899 letter from George Scherff to Nikola Tesla

New York, Oct. 13th, 1899
46 & 48 E. Houston Street

Nikola Tesla, Esq.,
Colorado Springs, Colo.

Dear Mr. Tesla:

The work of the shop continues on the second clockwork and on the fourth break. Mr. Uhlman thinks the clockwork will be finished by next Tuesday or Wednesday.

The mail obtained to-day at the Waldorf contained, besides journals, press cuttings and the inclosed letter, several appeals from charitable societies, in reply to which I have sent information of your absence from the City.

A copy of the issue of the Monist, mentioned by Prof. Carus' recent letter, was also found at the hotel and has been forwarded under separate cover.

Another letter was received from a firm in Bomay, India, desiring to become agents for your new light. I have answered that the proposition would be laid before you for consideration on your return.

I inclose also a blank for the annual report of the Nikola Tesla company, received to-day from the State Comptrollers Office, together with a copy of the answers as given last year. I beg to ask if I can do anything in regard to this matter, also if there shall be any change in the answers to questions 20 and 21.

Respectfully,
Geo. Scherff
