One

be used for
an
approximate verification of the hypothesis of the

gravitation.
It

Could
you
send
me
Kirchhoff's Heat.
I would be pleased to send the
Popular
Books
on
Natural Sciences
directly
to your
sister, if
you
don't mind. To what
address should they be sent?
And how
are you,
dear girl? You shouldn't invest the savings for
that altruistic
goal,
we
may
need all of
it in
summer on
the
Simplon.
Oh, how
glad
I am! Now
we
will quite
certainly
be able to
go.

has to have respect for the Chinesenschn

now
fills
me
too with respect. So,
now

frog!
We
shall
see
how things stand with that.

TO
MILEVA MARIC
Zurich [Milan] Tuesday. [30 April 1901]
My
dearest
little child!
I don't
give
in! You
must
absolutely
come
to
see me
in
Como,
sweet little witch. This will take
very
little of
your
time and
cause
me
heavenly delight.
We
will be back in
3
days
and
can
arrange
it
so
that Sunday
too
is still included. You'll
see
how
lively
and
gay
I
have become and how I've
got
rid of all the
brow-knitting.
And I love
you
again
so
much! It
was
only
because of
nervousness
that I
was so
awful to
you.
You will hardly
recognize
me,
I've become
so
lively
and
gay
and
am
longing
very
much
to
see
my
dear good Doxerl again. Don't
you worry
about
the position in Zagreb, if
they
mess
it
up
there. You
are
1000 times
more
important
to
me
than
you
could be
to all
the
people
of
Zagreb!
Who is
standing
in
your
way
there, tell
me a
little
about
it.
If
you
don't get
it,
that
position,
but
I
really get
to
be
employed in Bern, then I'll
appoint
you
herewith
my
dear little
natural scientist.
No need for
you
to
go
to
a
one-horse town, dear
girl,
I value
my
"old
pair
of boots,"
as
you
always
said,
more
than
you
think. Also,
you
need not
envy any
of
your
girl
friends, because
as
long
as
I have
any
desire and strength in
me,
I will feel happy
being
yours,
and
you
will be
a
little shrine
to
me.
And
my
happiness
is
your
happiness.
If
you
knew what
you mean
to
me, you
wouldn't
envy
any
of
your
girl friends;
because in all modesty
I
believe that
you
have
more
than all of
them. But be it
as
it
may, come
to
me
to Como
and
bring
along
my
blue
dressing-gown,
into which
we can
wrap
ourselves
&
by
no means
forget
your opera
glasses.
In
addition, bring
