Geehrter Herr Doktor!
Ich hatte gestern bei den Temperaturkoeffizienten länger stillstehen wollen, mit Rücksicht auf Ihre und Cohen’s Arbeit, meinte jedoch daß es für die anderen Zuhörer etwas zu sehr ins Detail gehen würde; es hören ja auch Anfänger mit zu. Ich füge also hier bei die Berechnung die Sie vielleicht auch selber schon machten und bemerke dabei daß es wohl sehr der Mühe lesen, zeitlich Ihre Resultate zu prüfen; ich vermute eine sehr gute Uebereinstimmung.
Herzlichst
J. van’t Hoff

Dear Doctor,
In deference to your work and that of Cohen, I was going to pause at the temperature coefficients, but I felt it would be too detailed for the rest of the audience. Beginners were also in attendance. Nevertheless, I will include the calculations that you may have already done independently. With regards time, however, I am aware that it is probably very difficult to check your results. I suspect they will match up.
Warmly,
J. van’t Hoff
