Ludwik Bruner (1843-1910), a physical chemist and a professor of chemistry at the Jagiellonian University in Cracow, Poland, thanks Georg Bredig (1868-1944) for sending his habilitation thesis "Anorganische Fermente" (Inorganic Ferments). In many Germanophone countries, a habilitation is a post-doctoral degree intended to demonstrate a scholar's capacity for research in his or her field and is usually required to attain the rank of professor.

Krakau d. 20. März

Hochgeehrter Herr Doktor,

Ich las eben mit grösstem Interesse Ihre Abhandlung über Anorganische Fermente (Jahrband). Da ich mich jetzt mit catalytischen Erscheinungen einschließlich der organischen Synthesen – die Veröffentlichung dieser Untersuchung wird hoffentlich vor Jahreszeit erfolgen – beschäftige und die Separatabdrucke der „Zeitschrift“ nicht verkäuflich sind, so gestatte ich mir Sie höflichst um ein Separatabdruck zu erstehen. In der Hoffnung dass Sie meine Bitte gut nehmen werden wollen, bleibe
ich mit herzlichem Gruss

Hochachtungsvoll
Ihr Ludwik Bruner

Cracow, March 20th

Dear Doctor,

I have just read your treatise on inorganic fermentation (in the annual volume) with great interest. I am now working with catalytic phenomena, including organic syntheses. Since the publication of this study will hopefully take place before the season is over and separate copies of the journal are not yet for sale, I would kindly allow you to purchase a separate copy. I hope that you would like to accept my offer.

With warm regards, I remain yours sincerely,
Ludwik Bruner
