Mon cher Monsieur Bredig,
Je vous remercie bien sincèrement de votre bon souvenir & de vos bienveillants sentiments, ils sont réconfortants.
Vous voyez juste en envisageant la production comme représentant les vraies voies à suivre pour que notre triste Humanité puisse enfin devenir la réelle Humanité.
Je souffre beaucoup de constater, comme vous & quantité d’autres, l’anarchisme social qui a permis ce qui se passe aujourd’hui dans le monde!
Croyez, mon cher Monsieur Bredig, à toute ma sympathie
E. Solvay

Dear Mr. Bredig,
I thank you quite sincerely for your kind thoughts of me - they are comforting.
You are correct in seeing production as representing the true path to follow so that our sad Humanity may at last become the real Humanity.
It pains me terribly to note, as you and so many others do, the social anarchism that has allowed what is currently happening in the world.
Please know that you have all my friendship.
E. Solvay
