1 Letter 4 - page 1. Zurich July 12 Wednesday – We reached Zürich Monday afternoon. Dr. Rübel , a botanist here was to meet us. When we saw a very blond, fresh-faced young man scanning the travellers from the train with anxiety & holding up some letters with Fred’s name on, we had no difficulty in concluding who he was. He is a handsome fellow of Dr. Ward’s type & speaks English so well, I would have thought him English, both from looks & speech. He apologized again because his beautiful new house is not finished & ready to receive us. He is indepently wealthy. Took his degree in chemical engineering, studied banking & now is absorbed in botany! His wife, a pair of twins & the baby are located in the country for the summer. He directed us to a very nice hotel right on the lake, which he calls “second-class,” but which Dr. W. would taboo, as “extravagant.” The dainty room & surroundings prove too much for Fritz . However, he yields despite my protest to the temptation to stay a few days. Our accounts indicate that (?) we will come through for $900. which is Satisfactory, so we have a little leeway. Tuesday morning at 10:00 Professor
