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

New York, Oct. 17th, 1899
46 & 48 E. Houston Str.

Nikola Tesla, Esq.,
Colorado Springs, Colo.

Dear Mr. Tesla:

Your letter and note of Oct. 14th were received this morning.

The work on the Porter motor has been at once taken in hand, and Mr. Wagner has been sent for to do the work on the lamps; he will come to-morrow afternoon.

Mr. Uhlman says the second clockwork is completed and almost assembled, but he will defer its shipment until further instructions are received in case there are any changes to be made. He says he has endeavored to construct the make and break device more simply than in the first clockwork.

All the papers on the resistance of metals at low temperatures, by Prof. Dewar, that could be found, have been mai1ed under separate cover.

The inclosed letter from Mr. Lagelouze was received to-day. I have informed him that the same would be forwarded to you in Colorado.

A notice was received from the Royal Institution that the annual dues of L. 5. 5. 0. are payable, and I have sent the amount by postal money order.

Respectfully,
Geo. Scherff
