Summary/Abstract: This article was inspired by a reedition of two documents prepared for this number of HUCP by Jana Ratajová, which concern the professional career of the Czech physicist Julius Suchý (1879–1920). The aim of this contribution was to outline the broader context of Suchý’s stay with Hendrik A. Lorentz at the Leiden University in 1908–1909 and his subsequent habilitation in theoretical physics at the Czech Technical University in Prague in 1913. The circumstances of finishing his habilitation are illustrated by Suchý’s letters to Hendrik A. Lorentz, written in 1909–1911, whose transcription (from the German original) is included as this article’s supplement.
