Lieber Walter! Heute komme ich mit einer Bitte, ist aber kein Aprilscherz. Es soll Schnecken geben, wo dieselbe Art Individuen mit rechts-gewundenen u. mit links-gewundenen Muscheln hat. Ich gedenke die Entwicklungsmechanik der Sache auf chemischen Wege nachzuprüfen u. wäre also sehr verbunden wenn Du nur die Litteratur über solche Lohnenswerten oder aehnliches angeben könntest. Zuviel Mühe sollst Du da dabei also nicht merken. Bei uns ist alles abgesehen von kleinen Erkältungen in Ordnung. Mit besten Grüssen Euch allen. Dein getreuer Vetter Georg Bredig

Dear Walter, Today, I write to you with a request, but it's not an April Fool's joke. There are supposed to be snails, in which individuals of the same species have dextral and sinistral shells. I would like to further research the developmental mechanics of this topic with regards to chemistry. I would appreciate if you could send me literature about this or something similar. You shouldn't spend too much time on this. We are doing well apart from seasons colds. Hello to everyone. Your faithful cousin, Georg Bredig
