above
all,
that
you
devoted
yourself
with such
unflagging
zeal and
great
success
to
the
study
of the
most
interesting,
but
also
most
difficult
area

applied
mathematics.
Now
that
you
attained the
highest
honor
bestowed

the
university

faithful,[3] you

academic
career.

any case,

Dear
Solovine,
I
think of
you
often
and
wonder
time and
again
what
you
are
doing
and
how
you
spend
your days.
On
top
of
my
curiosity,
a
small
practical
matter has

up,
and
that's
why
I'm
writing
to
you.
