Lieber Freund!
Ich erhielt vorgestern eine Karte von dem glücklichen Geburt Deines Erstgeborenen. Ich gratuliere Dir und Deiner Frau herzlichst zu dem glücklichen Ereigniss. Ich hatte eine Postkarte von den beiden Frl. Sturzen-Becker, worin sie erzählten, wie freundlich Du gegen sie gewesen bist. Ich danke Dir sehr, dass Du ihnen die grosse Freundlichkeit gezeigt hast. Wie Du weisst, ist die ältere meine Assistentin, die jüngere Petterssons. Ich war vor einigen Tagen in Berlin und wohnte bei van’t Hoffs, welche sowohl wie andere Kollegen äusserst wohlwollend gegen mich waren. Auch Leipzig per Ostwald besuchte ich einen Tag. Ich fand alles bei hocherwünschte Gesundheit und guter Stimmung. Man geht es gut. Ich reise von hier am 2 Juli nach Helsingfors und will am 22. in Stockholm zurück sein. Mit herzlichen Grüssen Dein Svante Arrhenius

Dear Friend,
The day before yesterday, I received a card announcing the birth of your first born child. Congratulations to you and your wife on this happy occasion! I received a postcard from the two Misses Sturzen-Becker, in which they conveyed how kind you were to them. Many thanks for your hospitality! As you know, the older one is my assistant, while the younger one is Pettersson’s assistant. A few days ago, I visited Berlin and stayed with the van’t Hoffs, who along with other colleagues, were extremely courteous to me. Per Ostwald’s suggestion, I also visited Leipzig for one day. Everything was very pleasant. I am doing well. On the 2nd of July, I will travel to Helsinki and hope to be back in Stockholm on the 22nd of the month.
Yours sincerely, Svante Arrhenius
