3) a second copy, labeled “copy,” which I ask you please likewise to sign and,
together with the enclosed carbon
copy,[3]
to send to Zurich to your divorced
wife;[4]
4) a letter to your divorced
wife[5]
that I ask you please to sign and also send to
Zurich because, according to some additional legal inquiries I made subsequent to
our conversation, this letter about the transfer of financial assets is legally required.
Finally, you are receiving a letter by me, which I ask you please also to put into
the envelope to your divorced wife and send out along with the
others.[6]
Additionally, you will find carbon copies for you and your divorced wife for her
files and for your own files.
If you would like to do your divorced wife a favor, have the statement of account,
drawn up by Ladenburg, Thalmann, and Co. on 2 August 1923 and forwarded to
you on 7 August 1923 as well as the notes of 7 September 1923, which you received
on 8 September, transcribed and send them to Mrs. Mileva Einstein so that she, for
her part, does not have to arrange for procurement of these same documents.
I have prepared everything as well as I could, and I hope that thus it is settled to
the satisfaction of all parties.
Cordial regards, your friend,
Haber.
207. To Hans Albert and Eduard Einstein
[Berlin,] 2 February 1924
Dear Boys,
Haber was so kind as to put the business affairs in New York in suitably profes-
sional
order.[1]
I hope peace and contentment will set in now. Take care of the house
purchase, dear Albert, or write me when you have reached an agreement so that I
can take care of other
investments.[2]
Grossmann writes me that you completed the
best examination of all, dear
Albert.[3]
What a dubious piece of work I was, in com-
parison! I was very pleased about it. Which of you can come, and when, to Kiel?
I’ll then certainly be able to schedule it. Haber says you should diligently learn En-
glish, dear Albert; then you’d have good chances in America; he has valuable con-
tacts there. I’m particularly looking forward to playing music with you, dear
Tete;[4]
when will that be? Write sometime when you have the inclination to, your
deeply loving
Papa.
