Esteemed
Herr Professor!
Your kind Christmas
greetings
made
me
and
my
family
very
happy,
and I
beg
you
to
accept
my
heartfelt thanks for them and for the
detailed report about Albert. It
is
a
great relief to know that
my son
is under such loving
care
which is not
only
concerned with his
physical
well-being but also promotes
his intellectual
and
inner
life
in such
a
noble fashion.
At this
young age
the heart is most
receptive
to
a
good model and
I
am
convinced that
your
good
influence will leave
a
lasting
effect. I
am
of
course
exceedingly pleased
with
your
opinion
about
Albert,
even
though
I
am
aware
that
your
words
bespeak
great
benevolence.
I
am
taking
the
liberty
of
returning
the enclosed
school
report;
to be
sure,
not
all
its parts fulfil
my
wishes and
expectations,
but
with Albert I got used
a
long
time
ago
to
finding not-so-good grades
along
with
very
good
ones,
and
I
am
therefore not disconsolate about
them.
Please allow
me
to send
my
best wishes for the New Year to
you
and
your
esteemed
family
on
this
occasion, and
accept the most cordial
greetings
from
your
respectful
and
devoted
Hermann
Einstein

TO
THE WINTELER FAMILY
[Pavia,
30 December
1895]
Very esteemed
family!
Permit
me,
too,
to
convey my
best wishes for the New Year!
I
feel
so
relieved and
happy
to know
that
my
son
is under
such
exquisite
care
and
I wil be forever
grateful
for the
great
care
with
which
you
surround him.
Your little
letter,
dear Miss
Marie, brought
me
immense
joy,
I
will
soon
write to
you,
in the meantime
my
cordial
greetings.
We
received
your
and Albert's note this
morning.
Happy New Year!
Your
utterly
devoted
Pauline Einstein
