Walter Russell to Royal Lee, 20 March 1954 — recollections of Nikola Tesla

In 1954, Russell looked back on encouragement he remembered receiving from Nikola Tesla during his work on the Mark Twain Memorial. He told that story in a letter to Royal Lee, later reproduced in Fulcrum in 1996. Read it as Russell's recollection: one voice looking backward, carrying a remembered exchange into the surviving record.
