I read at the university that you want to come for
July.[8]
How is your health, by
the way? Could you perhaps go on a smaller walking tour, or could we even
perhaps go on a larger
excursion?[9]
Please do give me more specifics about this so
that I can draw up a few plans. We are unlikely to be able to leave Switzerland.
What are the living conditions like in Berlin, by the way? How’s your food, how’s
your
stomach?[10]
Please write me sometime soon and I hope you, too, follow soon,
because I’m always worried about you.
Many greetings from
Adn
Please bring the photographic plates with
you![11]
Vol. 9, 59b. From Eduard Einstein
[Zurich, before 13 June
1919][1]
Dear Papa,
How are you? I’m glad that you’re coming to see
us.[2]
In the summer I’m going
to Rheinfelden to the saltwater
baths.[3]
I’m now in the 3rd
form.[4]
I like it at
school very much. It’s raining now in Zurich.
Many greetings and kisses to you from your
Teddi
Vol. 9, 66a. To Elsa Einstein
Lucerne, Monday. [30 June 1919]
Dear Else,
Mama is suffering terribly, but is very glad to be with me. She feels quite unhap-
py
here.[1]
I’ll try to get her accommodated elsewhere, cost what it may. She’s hop-
ing to be able to go to
Berlin.[2]
Maja is nursing her devotedly. She only has help
for a few hours. Mama is being tormented by mosquitoes in the apartment; it makes
airing out difficult.
In case the other postcard didn’t arrive, I repeat that I’m settled in the “Stern-
warte” [guesthouse] at a satisfactorily agreed
price.[3]
Tomorrow I have to return to
Zurich.[4]
Fond greetings to you, the children, Mrs. Hellberg, and the
parents.[5]
Yours,
Albert.
I’m feeling extraordinarily well.
