Lieber Herr Kollege!

Es wäre sehr freundlich von Ihnen, wenn Sie mir einen genauere Vorscrift für die Präperierung des Rhodiums zur Aminosäurenzersetzung senden wollten. Ich möchte, falls das angeht, das Experiment für die Vorlesung ausnutzen.

Mit bestem Dank im Voraus und ergebenen Grüßen,
Hans Meyer

PRAGUE, 1 January 1912

Dear Colleague,

It would be very kind of you to send me more detailed instructions on the preparation of rhodium for the decomposition of amino acids. If that's possible, I would like to use the experiment for my lecture.

Many thanks in advance and best regards,
Hans Meyer
