A thousand thanks for your long letter, it really is terribly pleasing to hear from you. Ma has been so sweet as to all your letters to me and as I know that it’s no mean feat, when you’re so busy, to write letters I therefore have not been expecting letters from you, unless you felt the need to discharge in your professional capacity, which as you know you are always very welcome to. At the moment I am very taken with H.A. Lorentz’s (Leiden) theory of electrons. When you’re finished with “Stages” and you must not hurry yourself, you will hear from me, for I have written up some comments on it (I disagree with K); but I wouldn’t think of being so banal as to let my poor nonsense sully your impression of so fine a book.
I am grand and I am looking forward more than I can say to the wonderful time I will have in Copenhagen, when I am finished with my exam, before I travel abroad. A thousand greetings from me and the whole Møllgaard family.
