My good
old astronomer Freundlich
will
experience captivity
instead
of
the
solar
eclipse
in
Russia.[4]
I
am
concerned
about
him.
Cordial
greetings,
yours,
A.E.
Best
regards
to
your
family.

Dear
Albert,
I
am
just
packing everything
for all of
you.[1]
Affectionate
greetings
from
me,
and
do
write
every 2
weeks. I
shall
answer
you regularly.
Kisses to
you
and
Tete,
yours,
Papa.

To Mileva Einstein-Maric
[Berlin,]

D[ear] M[ileva],
Your
letter
of
the 7th
of
September
in which
you complain
about
a
lack of
money
is,
after
what
I
have
done, incomprehensible to
me:
after
sending you
Fr.
150 through
my
uncle;[1]
thereafter,
a
telegram
with
the instruction that
you
withdraw
money
from
the
savings passbook
at
the
Kantonalbank. In
addition,
a
few
days ago
I
sent
you
100 M
to
the
Augustinerhof
hotel.[2]
Besides,
I have
provided
for
the
move[3]
and have
kept only very
little
for
myself, namely,
the
blue
sofa,
the
rustic
table,
two
beds
(originating
from
my
mother’s
household),
the
desk,
the
small chest of drawers from
my
grandparents’
household,
unfortu-
nately also
the
electrical
lamp you want,
not
knowing
that
you
are
attached to it.
Otherwise
I
have
kept
nothing of
any
importance
here. The
furnishings
can’t be
dispatched
yet
because
the
railway
does not
accept
anything
to Switzerland. As
soon as
it’s
possible,
however, I’ll
telegraph you,
then
you
can
take
up lodgings
and
will
get everything
delivered free
of
charge.
I
would have
transferred
even more
money
to
you,
but I
have
no more
myself[4]
to
be able to
manage
at all
without
help.
I
gave
you
600,
I
paid
200
for
your
tickets,
I
sent
you
the
above-mentioned. Then
there
is
the
move,
my
mother’s
