[PW] ? on Nikola Tesla

[Patricia Hatch]

Hi Charles,

I don't "accept" any website on its face.  I was pointing to possible 
additional clues about the origins of the title, and perhaps a reason 
why the patron in question is so adamant about the title.  The fact 
that this information appears on a website with "alternative 
viewpoints' is exactly why I am going to consult some of Tesla's 
actual works.  I appreciate the warning--it's always important to 
understand the credibility of any source you consult.

Thanks again,

Patty
