Lieber Freund Bredig,
Ich habe eine Karte von Jahn erhalten, worin er für Deine Abhandlung dankt. Da dieselbe Drucksache war, liess sie sich nicht returnieren. Ich sage auch meinen besten Dank für Deine Abhandlung, die ich schon im vorigen Semester in "Fysika Sällskapet" referierte. Gestern reiste Strindberg nach Paris um sich da in Luftschiffahrt einzuüben und einige Instrumente zu prüfen. Ich gehe mit Andrée nach Spitzbergen angfangs Juni und komme Ende August zurück. Vorgestern haben wir Klinckowström und Grönberg ein Misstrauensvotum gegeben (23 Stimmen gegen 10), wonach sie aus ihren Aemtern schieden. Grosses Laudium und Aufregung. Roszkowski hat den Stein zum Rollen gebracht. Er wird Dir Details geben. Die Venus von Amylo hat uns dreien und Anderen viele Freude gebracht. Wir danken bestens dafür. Heute essen die beiden Anderen (jetzt gerade) Schweinefleisch und Erbsen, während ich gleich zum Mittagessen bei Klason gehen werden. Recknes hat einen Sohn bekommen. Anfangs war seine Frau sehr krank, jetzt prachtvoll gesund. Aus das Kind. B. Hat auch eine kleine Belohnung u.d. [hole punch]. Es geht uns (incl. Ekholm, Aron, Lageman u.sw.) sehr gut. Herzl. Grüsse Svante

My dear friend Bredig,
I received a card from Jahn, in which he expresses thanks for your paper. As it is the same one, it doesn’t have to be returned. Many thanks as well for your paper, which I referenced last semester at the Physics Society. Yesterday, Strindberg travelled to Paris to practice aviation and test some instruments. Andrée and I plan to go to Spitzbergen in early June and return at the end of August. The day before yesterday, we gave Klinckowström and Grönberg a vote of no confidence (23 votes to 10), causing them to leave office. There were many speeches and quite the stir! Roszkowski set the ball rolling. He will give you the details. We three and the others enjoyed your play Venus of Amylo. Thank you for sharing this! Today, the other two (at this moment) are eating pork and peas, while I'm going straight to Klason's for lunch. Recknes had a son. At first his wife was very ill, but she and the baby are now very healthy. B. received a small prize and [hole punch]. We (including Ekholm, Aron, Lageman and the others) are doing well. Best regards, Svante
