To Professor
Einstein,
Zurich
My
dear
Friend,
In
addressing
to
you
the materials here
enclosed,
I should like to tell
you
how
happy
we
would be to have
you
in Geneva
next
Thursday
for the
unveiling
of
the
bust of Pierre
Prevost.[1]
If
you
find it
absolutely
impossible
to come,
you
would do
us
the
greatest
honor
and
pleasure
by
sending
us a
few words
or a
telegram,
which would be
read
at
the
unveiling;
this would be
something
of
a
consolation,
but
I
hope
that
nothing
of
the sort will
happen,
and that
we
will have
the
great pleasure
to
see
you
in
Geneva
next
Thursday.
Cordially yours,
C.

Please
receive
my expressions
of
homage
to
the
memory
of
the
very distinguished
Geneva
physicist,
Pierre
Prevost,[2]
with
my regrets
for not
being
able to
participate
personally
in
the
ceremony.[3]
