| Content | Hess thanks Meyer for his congratulations on receiving the Abbe Prize. He writes that his left thumb has had an open wound for months and will probably have to be amputated. His stepson Hans is still here on holiday and will soon be travelling home. During his holiday, Hans also visited several breweries in Munich with the help of Hönigschmid. Finally, Hess sends Meyer his best wishes for the holidays and the New Year. |
