Hi Joan, We also have a B-19 w/matching cabinet. I'd be curious to see if yours is the same as ours! I'll take some pix of mine tomorrow.

It is not only a personal and national loss, but a world loss, for you have been one of its greatest benefactors." If Tesla sincerely hated Edison, it is doubtful that even with his noted diplomatic manners, he would have taken the time to send this sentiment. Likewise, if the animosity were mutual, and if Tesla didn't have Edison's PUBLIC respect, it is doubtful that Edison would have deigned to allow the inclusion of Tesla's letter among the 13 out of the hundreds that were chosen to be printed in the EPM.
