DOCS. 482-484 MARCH

497
and
the
very
title
of
my periodical
evidences
that
I
advocate
only
this
kind:
Mitteleuropa
als
Kulturbegriff
[Central
Europe
as
a
Cultural
Concept].
It
is just
that the culture
I support is
not democratic because
the
present
time teaches
us
clearly enough,
it
seems
to
me,
that
democracy
leads to
war
and not
to
peace.
In
thanking
you very
much
again,
I
am
very respectfully,
K. C.
Schneider.
483. To Mileva Einstein-Maric
[Berlin,
17 March
1918]
Dear
Miza,
I
am
very willing
to
comply
with
your
wishes.
You shall receive Fr
2,000
around
April
1st for
this
quarter.[1]
To
my delight,
I
hear
that
you
are
feeling
well
and that
you
have
prospects
of
a
full
recovery.
But
do be
extremely
careful
regarding
Tete. I
think
perhaps
he
should be
kept permanently
far
away
from
the
city.[2]
Regarding
the
pension,
I
still have not received
word.[3]
Please
acknowledge
receipt
of the
money every
time
immediately,
so
that
I
know
that
you
are receiving
everything
regularly; otherwise,
under
the
present circumstances,
I
can’t be
sure.
If
your
confirmation notice fails to
arrive, I’ll
complain
at
the
bank.
Kind
regards
also
to
the
children, yours,
Albert.
484. To Mileva Einstein-Maric
[Berlin,
after
17
March
1918][1]
Dear
Miza,
I
was
very pleased
with
your
letter,
because
I
see
from
it
that
you
are
looking
cheerfully
into
the future
again
and
that
you
are more
conciliatorily disposed
toward
me as
well.
Naturally,
I
am very glad
that
you
can
take in
the
children
again. My
ideas of
having
to
accommodate
the
children elsewhere
arose
only
from
an
incorrect
impression
of
your
state
of health.[2]
Be
on
the alert
about
Tete’s
temperature,
so
that
we can
do
something
right
away
if
the
old
malady
sets in
again
to
the
slightest
degree.[3]
Around
the
first of
April you
will
receive
Fr.
2000.[4]
Please send
me
the
acknowledgment
of
receipt immediately so
that
I don’t have to
upset myself
about that
either. Under these
unstable
conditions,
