Mon cher Collègue,
Je vous remercie vivement du soin que vous voulez bien apporter à la traduction de mon travail ; j'ai contrôlé les diverses remarques que vous avez bien voulu me faire. Voici les réponses à quelques-unes de vos questions ; celles auxquelles je ne réponds pas sont celles où je n'ai qu'à approuver leurs modifications.
Auf. p.593. ist das Citat richtig ? - Oui ; j'ai ajouté l'indication : Ungleichung (48), qui évitera toute confusion.
p.588 - Zeile 16. Au lieu de "zweiten ", mettre "ersten"
p.603 - La pensée deviendra plus claire en ajoutant à la suite de : weniger schnell an : (Sie kann auch absteigen)
p. 615 - π = ⦛ 180
p.616 - Au lieu d'(états d'aise), il vaut mieux mettre entre parenthèses (state of ease) car ce mot est surtout employé par les ingénieurs anglais.
Recevez, mon cher collègue, avec mes remerciements, l'assurance de mes meilleurs sentiments.

My Dear Colleague,
Thank you very much for translating my works with such care; I have checked your comments, and here are the answers to a few of them. As to the ones I didn't address, I approve of the changes you have suggested.
On p.593. Is the citation correct? Yes, I have added the word inequation (48), which will eliminate any ambiguity.
p.588, line 16. Instead of "second", write "first"
p.603 - The idea will become clearer if we add, after more slowly (it can also decrease)
p. 615 - π = ⦛ 180
p.616 - Instead of (state of ease [in French, ndlr]), better add, in parentheses (state of ease [in English, ndlr]), because the expression is mostly used by English engineers.
With my sincerest appreciation,
Duhem
