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

New York, Sep. 19th, 1899
46 & 48 E. Houston Str.

Nikola Tesla, Esq.,
Colorado Springs, Colo.

Dear Mr. Tesla:

Your telegram that you wish Mr. Czito to come to Colorado Springs was received this afternoon, and I have answered by wire that he will leave here to-morrow morning.

Upon inquiry it was found that the first train for the west to-morrow leaves only at 1 P. M. He will take this train and should reach Colorado Springs Sunday morning. I have presented the telegram at the Chatham Bank and have drawn $75, which I have turned over to Mr. Czito for travelling expenses.

The work of to-day has been on the castings, switch and brushholders of the fourth independent break and on the condensers, which latter are finished and ready for use.

Mr. Page to-day returned the Victorian patent No. 13,596, on which the annuity has just been paid.

I inclose a news item from to-days Herald.

Respectfully,
Geo. Scherff
