September 26th, 1899 letter from George Scherff to Nikola Tesla

New York, Sep. 26th, 1899
46 & 48 E. Houston Street

Nikola Tesla, Esq.,
Colorado Springs, Colo.

Dear Mr. Tesla:

The work of the shop is on the castings, pulley and different brass parts of the fourth break.

Mr. Loewenstein has returned to-day and work on the coherers, about which he had instructions, has also been begun.

Mr. Uhlman says some further improvement has been made in the pump, the same works now very well and gives a very steady light, and duplicates of it will be made for the other breaks. I have not forgotten your recent censure for writing so often on this subject and wish to beg your pardon for touching upon it again - for the last time, I hope.

The mail to-day consisted of the inclosed bill and two applications for positions, one from Mr. Lee De Forest and one from Mr. Barnum C. McCusker. I have informed both applicants of your absence.

Respectfully,
Geo. Scherff
