| Content | Hess writes to Meyer that he believes that his last letter, in which he asked Meyer for some radium, may have been lost. He therefore asks Meyer again to send him some. He then writes about Benndorf’s 60th birthday and describes what they have planned as a gift for him. He plans to visit Meyer again in Vienna in April. He also wants to visit Schweidler to show him some new results. |
