Vienna IX, Berggasse 19
January 2, 1912
Dear Friend
Having filled up the holidays with the writing of 2% papers (which I don't like) and all kinds of personal discontents, I am finally getting around to wishing you, your wife and children all the prosperity in the New Year which you deserve and which would give me such pleasure, too. Common interests and personal sympathies have linked us together so intimately that we have no need to doubt the sincerity of each other's good wishes.
I am aware that your position in Berlin is far from easy and I continually admire your serene spirits and tenacious optimism. The chronicle of our enterprise may not always be a happy one, but most chronicles are probably much the same; it will produce quite an interesting chapter in history, nevertheless….
