| Content | Hess writes that Hans, his stepson, is getting better. He states that he can’t do anything about the prospects of the Belgian radium company (that Meyer wanted). He advises Meyer that the Austrian consul in Brussels can help him get the prospects. He writes about the bad political situation in Europe and specifically about France. Hess is currently in the south working with his apparatus. He got a job offer at an American University but declined because the pay is too low. So he writes he will come back to Graz after Easter. |
