Sehr geehrter Herr Dr!
Ich danke bestens für das liebenswürdige Übersenden von Lindemann-Röhrchen und Lack, sowie für den Neujahrswunsch, den ich Ihnen freundlichst retourniere. Von Schnee werden wir auch hier leider gar nicht von der wissenschaftlichen Arbeit distrahiert. Wo sich der Winter heutzutage eigentlich aufenthält bleibt ein Rätsel! – Die Karte stellt Elektronenaufnahmen von ZnO auf ein Einkristall von Zinkblende gewachsen dar.
Mit den besten Grüssen, auch von meiner Frau
Ihr ergebener
Gregori Aminoff

Dear Dr. Bredig,
I would like to thank you very much for sending me the Lindemann tubes and varnish, as well as for the New Year's greeting, which I kindly reciprocate. Unfortunately, snow does not distract us from our scientific work at all. Where winter actually is these days remains a mystery! The photograph depicts electron micrographs of zinc oxygen grown on a single crystal of zinc sphalerite.
Best wishes from me and my wife.
Sincerely,
Gregori Aminoff
