Hochgeehrter Herr Kollege!
Ich danke Ihnen herzlich für Ihre freundlichen Glückwünsche, und habe mich dabei lebhaft an die schöne Zeit unserer jungen Tagen in Leipzig erinnert, die uns ehemalige Leipziger zusammenhält. Besonders die Eindrücke aus dem Ostwald’schen Institut waren so ja so mächtig, und wenn ich einmal Pfeffer mit van’t Hoff oder Arrhenius und Ostwald beisammen sah, so hinterliess dies eine nachhaltige

Wirkung, wie ja grosse wissenschaftliche Erfolge und deren Träger auch den jugendlichen Sinn es stets tun.
Diese Eindrücke werden uns wohl alle auf Lebenszeit beisammen halten.
Ich verbleibe stets hochgeehrten Herr Kollege
Ihr sehr ergebener

Dear Colleague,
Thank you very much for your kind note of congratulations. I vividly recalled our wonderful youth in Leipzig, which unites all of us who studied in Leipzig together. The impressions from Ostwald’s institute were especially influential. When I saw Pfeffer together with van’t Hoff or Arrhenius and Ostwald, it also made a lasting impression.

Such great scientists and their successes always astound the youthful mind.
These experiences will probably keep us all connected for life.
My honorable colleague, I remain, your very devoted,
F. Haber
