From Heinrich Zangger [Zurich,] 24 April 1912 Expresses concern as AE has not sent any news about his trip to Berlin. As he himself is unable to write, his wife Mathilde informs him that Peter Debye will stay on in Zurich over the summer after all to lecture on radiation.

As for AE’s appointment to the ETH, he would have preferred a joint professorship with the University of Zurich, which would have lessened the teaching load of Kleiner, who has put in quite a bit of energy on behalf of Debye.
