October 19th, 1899 letter from George Scherff to Nikola Tesla

New York, Oct. 19th, 1899
46 & 48 E. Houston Street

Nikola Tesla, Esq.,
Colorado Springs, Colo.

Dear Mr. Tesla:

The work of the shop continues on the Porter motor break and on the fourth independent break.

A little delay is caused in the glass blowing work by Mr. Wagner being unable to absent himself from his present place to-day, he will finish the job Saturday.

Mr. Uhlman says the second clockwork has some improvements over the first one and seems to work perfectly in accordance with your wishes, that he thinks it advisable to send it; a box is being made for it and it will be expressed in the morning. Mr. Uhlman also inquires, if he should find a smaller clockwork and build an apparatus which will take up as little space as possible and so as to go into the space allotted for it. He says he will spare no efforts in trying to construct an apparatus to conform with your wishes.

The photographs for Mr. J. J. A. I delivered at his residence last night. Mrs. L. no longer resides in 38th street, but is stopping at the Waldorf, and the photograph was delivered there.

Respectfully,
Geo. Scherff
