Influential Swedish scientist (1859–1927) who received the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1903 in recognition of his theory of electrolytic dissociation. ALS in Swedish, four pages on two adjoining sheets, 5.5 x 7.25, Hamburg-America Line letterhead, October 1, 1904. Handwritten letter to his assistant Hans von Euler-Chelpin, who would go on to win the 1929 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Arrhenius describes his experience at the International Congress of Arts and Science in St. Louis, and details his scientific plans as soon as he will return to Europe. In fine condition.
From the personal collection of a lifelong collector, teacher, and traveler with a passion for world history. His collecting years ranged from the 1970s to the present day, meaning that several of the premier pieces have not been on the market in decades.
