D O C U M E N T S 3 4 6 , 3 4 7 A U G U S T 1 9 2 6 3 4 5 On Tuesday evening or so we are coming to Zurich. In any case, it would be nice if we could see each other again. I feel terribly sorry for Rosa [6] she is such a splen- did person and has to endure so much. Warm regards to you and Anna[7] from your Albert 346. To Michele Besso [Montana Vermala,] Friday [6 August 1926] Dear Michele, Your cards turned our plans upside down because I see from them that, one way or another, you will be in Lausanne Monday morning anyway.[1] Take the 8:11 A.M. train to Brig[2] Monday morning. Then, we will get on your train in Sierre (Siders).[3] We will then be together until Tuesday in Brig. From there, you can eas- ily get home via the Lötschberg,[4] whereas we intend to go over the Furka Pass.[5] I read your news about Rosa’s splendid boy with great dismay.[6] It’s truly terri- ble, all the things that fate burdens you with[7] See you soon, your Albert & Tete 347. From Paul Epstein [Pasadena,] 6 August 1926 Dear Professor, In addendum to my letter[1] written eight days ago, I would like to put forward the following idea, pertaining to Reichenbach.[2] Would it not be possible for Re- ichenbach to apply for an international fellowship from the General Education Board in New York,[3] like the one Oldenberg[4] had last year and Miss Spohner[5] this year? That would give Reichenbach the opportunity to look around in America for a year, acquaint himself with the people, and introduce himself to them. Over the course of a year he would, without a doubt, be able to find a suitable lasting sphere of activity. Herzfeld, for example, has now been engaged permanently as professor at the University of Michigan.[6] I do not think that with your petition any support from American quarters would be required. If, however, you wish such a thing, I shall be glad to be involved.
