another
person
who would be
happy
to receive
a
modest
teaching position.
But
reputation is
everything
...
curious
world!
Write
me very soon
to
5
Haberland
St., Berlin,
and thank the authorities in
my name
for
their
excessive esteem. When
we are agreed,
it
can soon get
started.
Cordial
regards, yours,
Einstein.
603. From Hermann
Anschütz-Kaempfe
Neumühlen, Kiel,
19 August 1918
To Professor A.
Einstein, Ahrenshoop,
Old Customs House.
Esteemed
Professor,
Thank
you
for
your
message
of
the
1st of
this
mo.
and
for
the
reprint
of
your
cordial address
for
the
Planck
festivities.[1]
I
am
likewise
indebted
to
you
for
your
indication of
the theoretical
difference
between
the
two
constructions
discussed
in
your
evaluation,
which
I
nevertheless
consider,
as
you
do, completely
irrelevant
practically.[2]
On
the
assumption
that
you may
be
interested
in
how,
under the
cloak
of
science, competitive jealousy operates,
but
primarily
because
your name
is
men-
tioned twice in
it, I
am
enclosing
for
you
a
short
paper
on
Usener’s book
Der
Kreisel als
Richtungsweiser [The
Pioneering
Gyrocompass).[3]
I
am
obliged
to
you
in advance for
the
return
of
the
book
itself,
which
I
am
sending
to
you
in the
same
post.
With
respectful regards, yours
very truly,
Dr.
Anschütz-Kaempfe.
Usener’s
book separately.
