Aussee, August 26, 1898
Dear Wilhelm,
Yesterday, from Chiavenna, came the happy news of the unlocking of the mysteries of the universe and of life, of intellectual successes more beautiful than one could dream of. Whether the road to the goal will turn out to be short or long — your intention to call mathematics to your aid would point to the latter — I can sense that the road is open to you; and I rejoice once again that eleven years ago I already realized that it was necessary for me to love you in order to enrich my life. Now, how shall I learn which elements became the new connecting links? It will hardly be possible to see you in September
