is quite certainly going to
Berne.[7]
But I believe that we had better follow the same
old
track.[8]
Fond greetings from your

[Zurich,] Monday. [21 July 1919]
Dear Else,
Everything continues to go well. Tomorrow I can’t go to
Lucerne[1]
because I
have to go to the Sterns’, who are
insistent.[2]
It’s not certain at all whether I can go
this week. My life with Albert is very
charming.[3]
He has developed fabulously as
a person and as a son. At the same time, a happy temperament and ever busying
himself with something. Tomorrow he’s going on a tour with other boys for about
5 days. I talked him into it
myself.[4]
I had the opinion transcribed here, tell Ilse,
whom I thank heartily for forwarding the correspondence and for her
letter.[5]
Now
I’m thinking of staying here a week longer after the conclusion of my course, after
all, because I’d like to spend a few more days in Lucerne as well as with Albert (and
Tete, if he’s back
here).[6]
I just don’t know where I should live for such a short
time, since the hotels are so far away. Yesterday afternoon I played music at Mr.
Greinacher’s
(physicist);[7]
was at Hurwitz’s (that morning); the latter is now seri-
ously
ill.[8]
They are still complaining about their politicized
daughter.[9]
I try to
talk them out of it. I haven’t had any news from Brandhuber
yet.[10]
If none arrives,
I’ll travel directly to Berlin.
Greetings & a kiss from your
Albert.

Zurich. Tuesday [22 July 1919]
Dear Else,
Albert went on a mountain tour with his
friends.[1]
This afternoon I’ll be at the
Sterns’, where Julie Ansbacher will also be on
hand.[2]
Next Monday I’ll be
lecturing for the last
time.[3]
Then I’ll spend a few more days with Mama in
Lucerne,[4]
then probably a couple of days here again, so I’m probably going to be
at Brandhuber’s before the
10th.[5]
I’m looking forward to being home again with
you, where we can comfortably live all on our own, as is proper for such a young
