To
Elsa Löwenthal
[Zurich] Saturday.
[19
July
1913][1]
Dear
Elsa,
I
rejoice
at
the
thought
that
I will
soon
be
coming
to
you.
We will
probably already
move
in
the
fall.
Seeing you
regularly
will be
the
nicest
thing
that
awaits
me
there!
Give
the
news
to
Uncle and Aunt
only,
but
ask
them
not to
tell
anyone
about
it
for the
time
being.
In
case
you
have not received
my
first
letter,[2]
let
me
inform
you again
that
I
have
been elected
to
the
Pruss.
Academy
in
a
very
similar
way
as
Vant
Hoff,
with
an
adequate
salary
and without
any
further
duties,[3] so
that I
can
devote
myself
to scientific
work.-
Write
a
cheerful letter
soon
to
your
Albert
I
am
certain to receive
the
letter
at the
Institute
for I have left
instructions
to
this effect
at
the
post
office.
454. To
Elsa
Löwenthal
[Zurich,
after 19-before
24
July
1913][1]
Dearest
Elsa,
In
my
great
happiness
I have
already
written
you
two
letters
to
Berlin, which,
of
course,
you
have not
yet
received.[2]
Your letter made
me
tremendously
happy.
Now
we
will be
together[3]
and
will
rejoice
in
each other!
Unfortunately,
this
won't
happen
until
the end of the winter
semester,[4]
because
I
could not
bring
myself
to
break
off
things
here
so rapidly.
But the
whole
thing
is
not
yet completely
certain.[5] I
do not have to
teach
any
courses
there-I
am totally
free
to
do whatever
I
wish.[6]
And
one
of
the
main
things
I
wish
is
to
see
you
often,
to
gad
about
with
you,
and
to
chat
with
you.
Give
my
regards
to
Uncle and
Aunt, whom I
thank
in the
meantime for their
friendly
note.
And
to
you, hugs
and
kisses from
your happy
Albert

To Jakob Laub
[Zurich,

July
1913][1]
Your letters
from
the
wild
west[2] gave
me
much
pleasure.
That
I did
not
answer was
due to
the
fact
that
I
was pitiably caught
up
in
the
gravitation problem.
But
I finished
it
a
few
months
ago.[3]
Next
year
the
solar
eclipse
must show
whether
I
hit
it
right
with
