German inventor and industrialist (1816-1892). Siemens' name has been adopted as the SI unit of electrical conductance, the siemens.

Letter to Fräulein Wegeowitz. In part (translated): “Enclosed you are receiving your documents. I met Mrs. Sala to speak about your manner. She was very nice and understandable and she wants to acommodate you on Easter. Her sale of her house is still on the waiting list. She is asking 50000 Thaler for her estate which is smaller than that of 39. I was offering her 40000 Thaler to acquire it.” In very good condition, with a heavy central vertical crease, mild toning over text, and mounting remnants to reverse. RRAuction COA.
