Content<\/strong><\/td>Hess writes that he added basic principles of calculation, used for his distance effect of various preparation forms, to this letter for Professor Przibram.
He informs Meyer, that Dr Schlesinger, a representative of the US Radium Corporation, maybe will tell him that he wants to stay in the USA (which is not true). He then writes that the financial situation back home is difficult.
Hess then writes that Schlesinger had left an electroscope in the second physics institute in Vienna at his last visit.
Then he writes about his colleagues and congratulates Smereker-Fonovits to the birth of her son. He is surprised that the assistants at the institute in Vienna are change so often.
Lastly Hess writes that he finished his apparatus for the Radium concentration and he set one up in Virginia. He explains briefly how it works.<\/td><\/tr>
