October 4th, 1899 letter from George Scherff to Nikola Tesla

New York, Oct. 4th, 1899
46 & 48 E. Houston Street

Nikola Tesla, Esq.,
Colorado Springs, Colo.

Dear Mr. Tesla:

Your letter of Sep. 29th, regarding Mr. Loewenstein, was received this morning, and it has, of course, greatly astonished me. Mr. Loewenstein says he is too nervous to write at present, but will do so as soon as he is able and clear up the misunderstanding, and he hopes to re-establish your former opinion of him. I inclose a copy of his certificate. The underlined passages were put in by Mr. Loewenstein's special request.

The work on the different instruments is being pushed as rapidly as possible, but, Mr. Uhlman says, due to the fact that Mr. Czito and Mr. Seibel are absent, the progress is somewhat slow.

I have sent five dollars to Miss Dunn.

Respectfully,
Geo. Scherff

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

This is to certify that Mr. Fritz Loewenstein has been in the employ of Mr. Nikola Tesla, in the capacity of assistant, from April until October, 1899, and that during this time he has been found to be most diligent and ambitious and possessed of thorough technical training. He leaves of his own accord.

Secretary to Mr. Tesla
