of things with you: the “problem of matter,” your last note at the Berlin
Academy[4]
(do you know that in the Mathemat. Zeitschrift R. Bach already took this same
path[5]
and discusses the field equations that correspond to this conception? As I
see it, no link to experience comes out of it) and Eddington’s
attempts.[6]
I am very
sorry that I could not see him in Germany now; is he returning directly to
England?[7]
I congratulate you on the experimental improvement of the
redshift![8]
If I don’t see you in Jena, I shall write more sometime soon.
With best regards between households, ever yours,
H. Weyl.

Discuss your future residence with Albert; I’m not giving you any
orders, of

But I would just like to remark that under no condition will
anything be nipped off your money, that I would pay for the move, and that it would
be of great importance for Albert if he stayed in contact with
Anschütz.[5]
For he,
in all seriousness, spoke of later handing his factory on to Albert. Also, I’m unen-
thusiastic about the Zurich
Polytechnic.[6]
Perhaps it wouldn’t be bad for Albert if
