    Abstract:
    The princely Moldavian Society of Natural Sciences and Medicine in Jassy received many foreign letters from correspondent members during the period of 1830 through to 1860. Most of the letters received were from German speaking countries and were addressed to one of the most famous members of the mentioned society in Jassy, Dr. Jacob von Czihak. He was born in Aschaffenburg in Bavaria to Czech parents and was educated in German schools. He went on to the University of Heidelberg. The multiplicities of letters that arrived in Jassy and that were found in the Romanian state archive in our time make it impossible to mention in detail, in a singe article. Therefore, I have chosen only three of them to analyze now. They are the letters from Mr. Prof. J.J. Berzelius (Stockholm), Mr. Dr. P. J. Cretzschmar (Frankfurt am Main) and Mr. Prof. J.B. Wilbrand (Giessen). The full list of correspondent members to the society in Jassy can be read in the who-is-who of the scientific world of there time. The reason I have chosen to mention these letters in my article was that they were exemplary to most I found and analyzed. They helped the members of the society in Jassy to keep contact with the scientific people during the beginning of the scientific awakening of the western European world.
