Lieber Freund!
Ich will Dich [------] benachrichtigen, dass meine Frau vor drei Tagen (12 10 5 Uhr N.h) einen sehr kräftigen Buben zur Welt gebracht hat. Es geht Kind und Mutter sehr gut und wir haben deshalb oben Anlass uns zu erfreuen.
Seit Deinem lieben Besuch hier habe ich nunmer nicht der Berechnung von Verdauung und Absonderung zu thun gehabt in dem ich ältere Versuche von Khiqiue, Lönngerst, Lobasoff und Dolinsky mit in Betracht gezogen habe. Die Quadratwurzel kommt immer dabei schön zum Vorschein. Ich werde die ganze Geschichte in den nächsten Tagen für Hoppe-Seyler einsenden.
Der Herbst ist hier ungewöhnlich warm und schön gewesen dabei aber sehr neblig. Ich habe noch nicht im neuen Laboratorium zu arbeiten angefangen. Mit besten Empfehlungen von Haus zu Haus.
Dein ganz ergebener lieber,
Svante Arrhenius

Dear Friend,
I want to inform you that my wife gave birth to a very strong boy three days ago (12.10 at 5 p.m.). The child and mother are doing very well and we are delighted up here!
Since your visit, which was very pleasant, I have not yet calculated eupepsia and dissociation according to the earlier experiments of Khigive, Lonnquist, Lobasoff and Dolinsky. The square root always comes out nicely. I will convey this to Hoppe-Seyler in the next few days.
Autumn has been unusually warm and beautiful here, but very foggy. I have not yet started working in the new laboratory. Warm regards from our home to yours.
Yours truly,
Svante Arrhenius
