Van't Hoff is considered to be one of the founding fathers of physical chemistry. In 1901 van’t Hoff received the first Nobel prize in Chemistry “in recognition of the extraordinary services he has rendered by the discovery of the laws of chemical dynamics and osmotic pressure in solutions.” Around 1894, Georg Bredig completed a portion of his post-doctoral work in van’t Hoff’s laboratory in Amsterdam.

Verehrter Kollege!
Ich habe nunmehr die Horstmann’schen Abhandlungen für Ostwald’s Klassiker bearbeitet bis auf ein kurzes Curriculum vitae. Wüßten Sie vielleicht an wen ich mich dazu wenden soll? Giebt es eine Frau Horstmann?
Herzlich Ihr
J. van’t Hoff.

Dear Colleague,
I have just now edited now edited Horstmann’s essays for Ostwald’s classics series, except for a short curriculum vitae. Do you know who I should turn to for this? Is there a Mrs. Horstmann?
Sincerely,
J. van’t Hoff.
