July 12th, 1899 letter from George Scherff to Nikola Tesla

New York, July 12th, 1899
46 & 48 E. Houston Str.

Nikola Tesla, Esq.,
Colorado Springs, Colo.

Dear Mr. Tesla:

The two clockworks have been sent off to-day, and all the men are now working again on the independent break. The winding of the magnets, which was temporarily delayed so as to rush the clockworks, will be finished to-morrow, Mr. Uhlman thinks, and he says he will test the speed of the motor as soon as possible.

The mail of to-day contained, besides the inclosed letter and bill, an appeal for aid from Rev. J. H. McCullagh, of Kentucky, to whom I have written that you are absent on a scientific expedition and that the matter would be submitted to you on your return.

Respectfully,
Geo. Scherff
