David Hilbert to Albert Einstein
Goettingen, 19 November 1915, facsimile

Hilbert congratulates Einstein on his success in solving the problem of perihelion motion by means of the General Theory of Relativity so quickly. Einstein did so because he could fall back on calculations he did with his friend Besso in 1913/14.
