Horror arrived for both of us.
My poor, poor Nikola. My heart bled for him.

Up in smoke....hundreds of invention models, plans, notes, laboratory data, tools, photographs, valued at $50,000-were lost in the 5th Avenue laboratory fire March 1895.

The New York Times questioned him but then quoted him to say, "I am in too much grief to talk. What can I say?"

In my heart I felt that his competitors set the fire but I never mentioned a word of it to Nikola.

How could it help the situation?

Nothing could help him but my love and support to start again.
