For
the little
one,
I
have
arranged
a place
in
Dr. Pedolin’s children’s
sanato-
rium in
Arosa,
in
agreement
with Prof.
Bernheim,[3]
albeit
for
Fr
10
per
day;
but
the sanatoria
are
very
full
now
because of
the
foreign
children,
so
that
one
has to
be
happy
to have
anything
first-class at
all.
Unless
you
report
otherwise,
I
shall
take the little
boy
there
as
soon as
the
weather
is
good &
then
report
address,
etc.,
to
you
from there. Next
week I
am going
to Berne
&
shall
try
to
procure
a
Swiss
remedy
for
your
stomach.[4]
This
will
interest
you:
The
Swiss
government
has
indicated
it
will
stand
by
me, so
that
I
did not
even
have to
run
out
all
my
cannons
&
did
not
have to fire
any
of
them;
so
these
are
welcome
successes.-[5]
Your sister wanted
to
visit
me;
I
was away.
Albert
likes
staying
here
very
much-Papa has
little
to
say here;
come
here
to
give
orders.
Regards,
Zangger
Incidentally: My
wife
simply
went
there
&
picked up
A.
with
no
protests.
Postscript to
the letter.
Meanwhile
I
was
in
Berne.
You
should
“lodge a package
complaint”
in
case
they
do
not
arrive
on
time. At all
events, they
are going
to arrive between 5-10
July.
You should
not subject
Albert
to
the
disappointment of
expecting you
&
then
not
coming
for
the third
time; promises
to children
...
Your
little
boy
will
certainly
be
brought
to
Arosa
as soon
as
the
weather
is
stable;
he is
looking
forward
to
going
“on
holiday,”
like
the other
children. You
obviously
wrote
your
book with
Albert
very
much in
mind;[6]
if
you were
closer,
you
would
have
adopted
a
different
tone
in
a
number
of
instances.
It
is
a
pleasure
for
me
to
read,
& particularly
for
another
special
reason
you
will not
guess
...
I have
often considered how
this
could be
presented
to
the
solid,
naive thinker.
I
have also
told
Besso
that
I
am
considering describing
relativity
as
I
see
it
and
have
&
am
experiencing
it.[7]
Should I not
give
the little
book to Albert?
He is
a
bit
thin,
but
his
mother
says
that
he
always
is
a
bit
lanky
in
the
summer.
He is
eagerly awaiting
the
holiday
excursion with
Papa. Now
he
is cutting flowers
in
our garden,
to
bring
to
his
mother
in
the
evening. Today
I
was
at
the
hospital
for
a
longer
period
of time.
The little
one
is
doing decidedly
much better,
but
we
do not know
how
times will
be;
let
us
all invest
what
capital is
available
on
health before
the
forties.
Albert
is
going
to write in
the
next
few
days.
