Kovalevsky [sic]: she, a pretty creature, with charming modest voice and speech, who is studying mathematics (by allowance through the aid of Kirchoff) at Heidelberg; he, amiable and intelligent, studying the concrete sciences apparently,—especially geology; and about to go to Vienna for six months, leaving his wife at Heidelberg!
