delighted to have become a Haberland-man now after
all.[3]
I fear a lawsuit, though.
As soon as you have somehow settled with him, it’s
dangerous.[4]
Aren’t you
afraid? In any case, don’t worry about it; I know that you meant well. It is very nice
here. There is full agreement between my and the priest’s
views.[5]
Now I am ex-
pecting your message, not about whether, that is, but only where and when. I very
much am looking forward to our little
excursion.[6]
Kisses also to Margot from your
Albert.
I am in very good health.
Vol. 8, 378a. To Elsa Einstein
[Benzingen, Württemberg,] Thursday. [6 September 1917]
My Dear,
Your letter delighted me, as I see that everything is back in order
now.[1]
Post-
cards must have gotten lost. I never waited longer than 2–3 days. I would very much
like you both to come and meet me. I still have enough money to take care of the
two of you as
well.[2]
If you do decide to come and you have not already reported
it to me, I request a telegram. This postcard is the last before my return home de-
parture. Even though it is so beautiful
here[3]
(weather includ[ed]), I am very im-
patient, to the point that I am counting the days on my fingers. Now it will be very
nice in Berlin; we can make ourselves a bit independent and have meals at my place
more
often.[4]
I fear I forgot to greet Aunt in my postcard to Ilse. In any case, apologize for me
when the two come
back.[5]
Now Ilse has also had bad experiences with
me.[6]
What’s done is
done.[7]
Who believes the remorse of a poor old sinner?? He must
simply be taken as he is. He has many a big vice but is also considerate regarding
those of
others.[8]
See you soon (preferably in
Thuringia).[9]
Greetings & kisses to all of you from
your
Albert.
Vol. 8, 380a. To Heinrich Zangger
Berlin, 15 September
[1917][1]
Dear friend Zangger,
Now I am sitting here again, to be more precise, in another apartment (5 Haber-
land St.). In the interim I visited my priest in Benzingen, who, despite his black
