because of the
inconstancy
of phenomena in their
case.
However,
compounds
of
great
"internal"
energy
do show band-like
absorption
spectra.
What is the
story
with the
specific
heat of
glass
considering
its composition. It would have
to
have
a
small molecular
heat, compared with its molecular number.
See
whether
you
can
find
something
about
that!
What
are
you up
to, little
imp.
Brew
yourself
often
some
nice
coffee and don't
deny yourself
anything.
I
think much about
you
(entirely
unspurred) and
it
still makes
me
happy
that
you were
so
cheerful
on
the last day
we
spent together. While
we are
at it, let
me
immediately
kiss
your
darling
little trap
so
that it [the
happiness]
won't
pass.
Imagine
what
I
left in
Zurich!
My
nightshirt
&
my
wash
things
.
toothbrush
&
comb
&
hairbrush.
Do send
everything
to
my
sister
(Töchterheim Aarau).
She
can
later take them along with her.
It's lucky that
we
didn't make the Axenstrasse. This would have
been
a
nice
mess.
It
was
not
even
possible
to
see
the other shore.
I
was
traveling
with two
young
fellows
during
my
trip. Suddenly
it turns
out
that
one
of them studied mathematics
&
physics in
Göttingen for
4 semesters.
You
can
imagine
how I quizzed him about
the conditions there.
We
also did
a
lot of shop-talk
about the
theory
of cognition. He said that Riecke is
a
very
friendly
jovial
gentleman
&
I
would have
very
little
to
do
as
his assistant......if if.......
You know the little
song
we so
often
sang
together.
Here I have
hardly
left the house
so
far,
and
am
living
a
quiet
life instead,
so
that
my
nerves
may
calm down
a
little bit.
My
old
folks
are
also
contributing
the best they
can;
the
poor
souls have
constant
aggravation
and worries because of the accursed
money.
My
dear uncle Rudolf (the rich one)
picks
on
them
terribly.
Be
industrious,
my
love, and find
yourself
a
friendly
little
room
in which
you
feel comfortable. One kisses
equally
well
as a
little
doctor and
professor.
Did
you
also send
a
paper
to
Wenger?
Affectionate greetings and kisses from

TO
MILEVA MARIC
Milan
Wednesday. [27
March
1901]
My
dear Miezchen!
Thank
you very
much for
your
little letter and all the true love
that's in it. I kiss and hug
you
for it from all
my
heart, exactly
the
way you
would
want
it
& are
entitled to,
love.
Riecke's rejection
did not
surprise
me,
and I
am
also
firmly
convinced that Weber is
to
blame. Because the
excuse
is too implausible, and he doesn't mention
a
thing about the second position.
I
am
convinced that under these
circumstances
it wouldn't make
any
sense
to
write
again
to
professors, because
I
am
certain that all
of them would turn
to
Weber for information
once
the matter had
advanced far enough, and he would
again give
a
poor
reference. I'll
turn to
my
former teachers in Aarau and
Munich,
but
mainly
I'll
try
to
get
an
assistant's
position
in
Italy.
First of all,
one
of the main
obstacles
is
absent
here, i.e., anti-Semitism,
which in German
countries would be
as
unpleasant
as
it is
obstructive,
and, second, I
