From Heinrich Debus

Hirst werde ich genau so aufnehmen wie ich John Tyndall aufnehmen würde wenn er wieder nach Marburg käme. Ich werde Hirst als den Freund meines Freundes J. Tyndall behandlen. Bunsen, Knoblauch, Noll grüssen Sie herzlich. Wann ich wieder an Sie schreibe lieber John dann hoffentlich mehr und dies bald.

Gott sei mit Ihnen | Ihr | treuer Freund | H. Debus

Marburg IV. VIII. 50.

Hirst I shall receive just as I would receive John Tyndall, if he were to come to Marburg again. I shall treat Hirst as the friend of my friend J. Tyndall. Bunsen, Knoblauch, Noll send you their warm regards. When I write to you again, dear John, then hopefully there will be more, and this soon.

God be with you | Your | loyal friend | H. Debus

Marburg IV. VIII. [Aug] 50.
