FROM
MILEVA MARIC
[1900?]
My
dear Johonesl!
Since I like
you so
much and
you are so
far
away
that I cannot
give
you a
kiss,
I
am
now
writing
this little letter and
am
asking
you
whether
you
like
me as
much
as
I do you? Answer
me
immediately.
Thousand kisses from
your
D[oxerl]

pseudo-dialect.]

My
dearest Miss
Kaufler!

Yesterday
E. celebrated his
birthday
and
today
were
to
come
the
afterpleasures. Mrs. E. has
sent
a
lot of the
very
sweetest
delicacies;
and
you
should have
seen
what
a
magnificent effect this
had
on
her
son:
he passed
beaming through
Plattenstr. with the box in
both hands and
was so
pleased
that he did not look at
anybody. [...]
[...]
Prof. Weber has
accepted
my
proposal
for the
diploma thesis, and
was even
very
satisfied
with it.
I
am
very
happy
about the
investigations I'll have
to
do for it. E. has also chosen
a
very
interesting topic.
-
He
sends his best regards to
you
and Miss Ida.
