Things were quite nice at my ex-wife’s.[5] Grossmann has signs of paralysis (legs, tongue). It must be a brain disorder.[6] His intelligence, however, is in good shape. Hopefully it won’t get worse. I didn’t enjoy much in Geneva.[7] The thing is not bad at all, but it’s no job for me. Eisler will possibly get a position at the Institute but not a “top” one.[8] Goyim have it easier. Tete is being a diligent bookworm, but not with Napoleon yet.[9] It is nice that you sent it to him. If Margot[10] is there, you could take a bit of a trip, especially if a blood transfusion is actually done, which, however, cannot be done with any two people. If you take a trip, go to Rigi-Kaltbad [11] it’s beautiful and not prohibitively expensive. Warm regards to all of you from your Albert 40.

We are living in bliss.[2] I just received a card from Ilse, completely satisfied.

To Ilse Kayser-Einstein [Kiel,] Sunday [9 August 1925] Dear Ilse, You are an angel for still writing to me even though you have a hole in your stomach.[1] I am glad that we know what is wrong. However, it is not great that I know from my own experience.[2] Only lying down and enormous patience can
