The typescripts of the letters are in the book "Dr. Nikola Tesla: I. English
/ Serbo-Croatian Diary Comparisons, II. Serbo-Croatian Diary Commentary,
III. Tesla / Scherff Colorado Springs Correspondence" by John T. Ratzlaff &
Fred A. Jost.  No performance data are provided in the letters.  You are
probably aware that the COLORADO SPRINGS NOTES 1899-1900 contains some
information on Tesla's coherers.
