is now settled in a sanatorium, to my great relief. I just hope I don’t have to take her
along with
me![10]
I’m dreadfully afraid of that. If she absolutely wants to, it will
just have to be.
Fond regards, yours,
Albert.
I’m probably spending Friday evening at the
Karr’s.[11]
Vol. 9, 70e. To Elsa Einstein
[Lucerne,] Wednesday evening. [9 July 1919]
Dear Else,
Was with Mama at the private clinic the whole
day.[1]
She is doing reasonably
well. Still thrombosis. Right leg always bandaged up and raised. Diagnosis isn’t
quite certain yet because thrombosis is also known to be a consequence of the
flu.[2]
The clinic and the nurses are very good. Transfer to Berlin would be
foolishness.[3]
From Friday onwards I’m going to be living with Albert at 59 Gloria
St.[4]
(Record
achievement.) Healthwise I’m feeling very well. But am also being very cautious.
Uncle J[akob], that sensitive man, is abandoning Mama here and going to Zurich,
where it’s supposedly more
entertaining.[5]
Heartfelt greetings, yours,
Albert
Greetings to the children, parents, and Mrs.
Hellberg.[6]
Greetings from Maja &

Vol. 9, 72a. To Elsa Einstein
[Zurich,] Saturday, 12 July [1919]
Dear Else,
Half of my lectures are almost over
(Monday).[1]
The audience has crumbled
away a little as well. But
Meyer[2]
and the mathematicians are still present. I’ve
been living with Albert since yesterday and am very well looked after and
content.[3]
The boy gives me indescribable joy. He is very diligent and persistent in
everything he does. He also plays piano very nicely. Tomorrow at noon I’ll be with
Edith at the
Karr’s.[4]
Zangger is out of town; I would have liked to have talked to
him again about the
diagnosis.[5]
I’m continuing to feel very well. I think I can
return home according to
schedule.[6]
Today I received a report from the
Oppenheims.[7]
They are still at Thun Lake.
