464. To Elsa and Margot Einstein
Buenos Aires [26 March
1925][1]
My Dears,
Yesterday, after the steamboat got stuck, arrival, in the best of health, in Buenos
Aires in a great hullabaloo. I am living in Mr.
Wassermann’s[2]
home
(Sabala[3]
1848). By the time you get this little note, I’ll already be in Montevideo or Rio,
from where I’ll later, on May 12, be traveling back toward Hamburg. I am with a
very likable family and am protected against all impositions. The schedule is im-
mensely packed, but I feel strong and indifferent toward people. For, what I’m do-
ing here is probably not much more than a comedy. Buenos [Aires] is a barren city
from the point of view of romanticism and intellectuality. But I am enchanted with
Rio.
Some fellows are waiting for me again. I hope you are as healthy as I and have
smaller paunches. Heartfelt greetings to you, the
grandparents,[4]
and friends from
your
Albert.
I’ll probably hardly be able to write any picture postcards despite the fine addresses
I have here. I briefly saw Dr. Silvamello in Rio, tell Ehrmann
so.[5]
On my return
to Rio, where I’ll be staying for 6 days, I shall see more of him. Also greet
Katzenstein and my dear old
Lewin.[6]
