OCTOBER
1912
For,
on
the
one
hand,
I have
absolutely
nothing
new
to
bring
forth
regarding
the
problems to
be discussed
and,
on
the other
hand,
I
am
already
so fully
occupied
with
other
things
that
I would not be able
to
devote the
necessary
time to
the
matter.
I
am
taking
this
opportunity
to
thank
you sincerely
for
the book
with which
you
recently presented
me.[2]
With
all
respect,
I
remain
humbly yours,
A.
Einstein
418.
To
Ernst Zermelo
[Zurich,
4
October
1912][1]
Dear
Mr. Z.
I
am always
home
(Hofstrasse
116,
next to
the Fluntern
church)
in
the
evening
and
shall be
very pleased
if
you
come
to
see
me.[2]
With
kind
regards,
yours,
A.
Einstein
419.
From Theodor
Vetter[1]
[Zurich,]

To Professor Dr.
Einstein,
Zurich.
Highly
esteemed
Colleague:
From
your
notice
regarding
the
lecture hours
we
note
that
you
have
scheduled
your
physics
seminar for
Tuesday
evenings
from
8
to
10.[2]
Unfortunately,
we
cannot consent
to
that
outright.
A
similar
request
by
Prof.
Heim[3]
was
refused
by
the
School Council
some
time
ago
in view
of the
difficulties this
would
cause
for
the administration.
We
therefore
politely
request
that
you
choose
some
other hours for the
physics
seminar.
Respectfully,
The Rector of the Fed.
Polytechnical
Institute
Th.
Vetter
