To Hans Albert Einstein Zuoz. [7 August 1927] Lieber Albert! Diesen Gruss von unseren heurigen Ferien. Wir waren eine Woche hier und sind mehr mit Nietzsche[1] als mit Steigen beschäftigt gewesen. Morgen wandern wir nach Maloya und dann über den Septimer.[2] Dann gehts wieder nach Berlin bezw. Zürich. Vor alledem war ich in Genf, wo es ebenso heiss wie unfruchtbar war.[3] Dir und Deiner Frau[4] Glückwünschend bin ich mit besten Grüssen Dein Papa. AKSX. [75 747]. The postcard is addressed “Herrn Albert Einstein Stolzestr. 19 III Dortmund Preussen.” and postmarked “Zuoz (Graubünden) 7. VIII. 27–9.” Greetings from Eduard Einstein are omitted.
