Van't Hoff is considered to be one of the founding fathers of physical chemistry. In 1901 van’t Hoff received the first Nobel prize in Chemistry “in recognition of the extraordinary services he has rendered by the discovery of the laws of chemical dynamics and osmotic pressure in solutions.” Around 1894, Georg Bredig completed a portion of his post-doctoral work in van’t Hoff’s laboratory in Amsterdam.

Prof. Nernst habe ich beantwortet; ich meine der Einfluß ist bei H2 PO4 gering, kaum erkennbar.
Amsterdam, 19. Juni 1895
Geehrter Herr Doktor!
Mit Ihrer Herleitung bin ich voll einverstanden; danach würde es sich empfehlen an die Nachwirkung das Bearbeitungsresultat zu verkürzten, auch wo jetzt die Uebereinstimmung weniger befriedigend ausfällt. Vielleicht läßt sich dazu eine Konstante gebrauchen.
Ergebenst
J. van’t Hoff.

I answered Professor Nernst. I think the influence of H2 PO4 is minimal and hardly noticeable.
Amsterdam, 19 June 1895
Dear Doctor,
I fully agree with your derivation. Afterwards, it would be advisable to shorten the residual effects of the processing results, even where the conformity is now unsatisfactory. Perhaps a constant can be used for this.
Sincerely,
J. van’t Hoff.
