Letter from George Hevesy to Georg Bredig
- 1927-May-02
Georg von Hevesy (1885-1966) thanks Georg Bredig (1868-1944) for sending him an offprint. Hevesy has recently moved and expresses his hope to catch up on the coursework that he missed over the last couple of months.
Georg von Hevesy was a Hungarian chemist. He worked in inorganic and nuclear chemistry at Stockholm University. In 1923, he co-discovered the element hafnium. He received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1943 for his contribution to the development of radioactive tracers. At the time this letter was written, Hevesy was a professor of physical chemistry at the University of Freiburg.

Sehr verehrter Herr Kollege!
Ihre freundliche Karte, sowie der Sonderabdruck, den Sie mir gütigst gesandt haben erreichte mich erst heue nach meiner Rueckkehr aus England und ich teile mich Ihnen meinen verbindlichsten Dank auszusprechen. Der Brief von Juli des vergangenen Jahres muss mir Opfer meines Umzuges gefallen sein, er hat mich nämlich nicht erreicht. Haben Sie jedenfalls auch für diesen meinen verbindlichsten Dank.
Ich müsste bereits im Laufe des Wintersemesters Ihnen einen Besuch abstatten, doch bin so beschäftigt, dass ich das nicht kann. Doch hoffe ich das Versäumte noch im Laufe dieses Monats nachholen zu können.
Mit bestem Grusse verbleibe ich Ihr sehr ergebener,
Hevesy

Dear Colleague,
Your cordial card, as well as the offprint that you kindly sent me, only reached me today after my return from England. I would like to express my appreciation for both. The letter from July of last year must have fallen victim to my move, because I did not receive it. In any case, I sincerely thank you for this.
I would like to visit you during the winter semester, but I'm so busy that I can’t. I hope that I can make up for what I have missed in the course of these past months.
With best regards, I remain yours faithfully,
Hevesy
