Chemist (1868–1934) who received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1918 for his invention of the Haber–Bosch process, a method used to synthesize ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen. TLS in German, signed “Haber,” two pages, 8.25 x 13, Kaiser Wilhelm Institute letterhead, July 10, 1920. Letter to physicist Karl Mey, in part (translated): "My idea of ??the distribution of the means is that every institute has to state how much money it can be from state or foundations, after deduction of the cost of heating, lighting, etc.—for scientific work, and then a portion of this effort is to be paid to him for a number of years, and half of the collection is to be used for this purpose. A quarter of the collection I think would be expediently reserved to be distributed in cases of special importance on the basis of special requests and examination by an expert authority. The last quarter, however, I would like to see for the physical literature. I am assuming that the possibility of working scientifically and of making the results of the scientific work known in the scientific literature is crucial for the development of the next generation." In fine condition, with filing holes to the edge, and a strip of toning along the top edge of the first page.
