83. To
Mileva Einstein-Maric
[Berlin,]
15 May 1915
D[ear] M[ileva],
I
must
insist
that the
money
in
Prague be transferred to
my
name.[1]
I will
have
it
credited to
the
children and
am
convinced
that
this
is
the
safest
way
for the
amount to
go
to
the
benefit
of
the
children. Until
you
have done
your
obligation
in this
matter I will not
send
you
anything
more.
Mrs.
Haber
shot herself
2
weeks
ago.[2]
I
expect
to be
hearing
from
you
about
when
I
can
take
a
short
trip
with
little
Albert.[3]
I
can’t
go
before
the
end
of
July
because
of
my
lecture
course.[4]
The
summer
and fall vacations
come
into consideration. Didn’t
the
children receive
the Easter
package?[5]

Kisses

84. To
Heinrich
Zangger
[Berlin,]
17
May
1915
Dear friend
Zangger,
I
have received
your
detailed
letter but
again
was
unfortunately
unable to
read
quite
a
lot of it. You cannot
imagine
how
hard
it
is
for
a
non-medical
man
to
decipher your writing.
This
summer
I
am
coming quite definitely
to
Zurich
and shall
spend
a
few
days
with
you (if you happen
to
be
there),
so
that
we
can
make
good use
of
the
time.
Presumably
I
shall
come
at
the
end
of
July,[1]
but it
depends upon
when
I
can
have
my
Albert
accompany
me on a
short
hiking
trip. I
also
am
consumed
by
the
desire to be able
to discuss
thoroughly
with
you
all
the
shocking
things
that
have
happened
meanwhile. Even
more
ardently
do
I
wish to
be able to
take
my
dear
boys
into
my
arms
again.
Hard
though
the
separation is
for
me,
it
was a
matter of
life
and
death
for
me.
I
must tell
you
about this
also,
so
that
you
do not
get
a more
tarnished
image
of
me
from
the
appearances
than
I
deserve.
In these times
it
becomes obvious
that the
only
thing
really
worth
striving
for
in this world
is
the
friendship
of
exceptional
and
independent persons
who cannot
be convinced
by any published
rot to
assume
the
perversest
of mental stances.
In Zurich
you surely
see, as
well
as
I
do
here,
how
few
such
people
there
are.
