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

New York, Aug. 4th, 1899
46 & 48 E. Houston Str.

Nikola Tesla, Esq.,
Colorado Springs, Colo.

Dear Mr. Tesla:

The nickel and aluminum wire chips and silver filings - five grades - will be ready for shipment to-morrow, Mr. Uhlman says, and then the bismuth fillings will be made. Work on the clock-movement is also progressing. Heavier springs are necessary and occasion additional strengthening of the parts bearing the strain of the springs.

The second independent break will be run to-morrow and the speed taken. The work on the third break is on the castings.

The two inclosed bills were obtained at the Waldorf this morning.

Respectfully,
Geo. Scherff
