Van't Hoff is considered to be one of the founding fathers of physical chemistry. In 1901 van’t Hoff received the first Nobel prize in Chemistry “in recognition of the extraordinary services he has rendered by the discovery of the laws of chemical dynamics and osmotic pressure in solutions.” Around 1894, Georg Bredig completed a portion of his post-doctoral work in van’t Hoff’s laboratory in Amsterdam.

Hochverehrter Kollege!
Ich habe hoffentlich zugunsten der Horstmann’schen Arbeiten herauszugeben und versuchte eine diesbezügliche Zwischen-Anfrage an Ostwald. Bis Anfang April ist meine Zeit ganz in Anspruch genommen durch Vorbereitung eines in London abzuhaltenden „Memorial Lecture“ für Raoult. Dann bin ich aber freier.
Herzlich Ihr J. van’t Hoff

Dear Colleague,
If everything goes well, I intend to favorably review Horstmann’s work and attempted to send an interim request to Ostwald regarding this. Until the beginning of April, I am busying preparing a "Memorial Lecture" for Raoult, which will be held in London. Afterwards, I will have more time.
Sincerely,
J. van’t Hoff
