A mixture of fun and work beyond one’s best imagination. Warm regards to Margot and Rudi[5] as well, your Albert I am still delighted that Margot wrote me so much. Mother has already sent me 2 telegrams from H.[6] That’s the kind of man one must have! 42. To Elsa Einstein Neumühlen, Kiel, Heikendorfer Weg 23, 11 August [1925][1] Dear Else!

Albert works in the factory until 4.[4] At present, we are experimenting a bit together.[5] Tete[6] has to go home on Friday, since his vacation is over. The lad is rather gifted but awk- ward.

I think we can give it to her from the interest on the Karr money.[11] Enjoy your holidays and don’t always be such a worrier. Send me your addresses otherwise nothing will ever reach you. 43. From Maja Winteler-Einstein Colonnata (Florence), 13 August 1925 My Dears, It’s always a special pleasure for me when a letter from you arrives.[1] And this time even more importantly it brought nothing but good news! Ilse is getting better, and there is the prospect of complete healing![2] I can imagine how happy you are about that, and a heavy weight fell from my heart as well when I read this good
