I’m
doing extremely
well,
not
only
healthwise
but
also otherwise. I
am
coming
back
to
life, now
that
my great,
ardent
wish
is
being
fulfilled.[5]
God’s
mills
...
[grind slowly
but
surely].
It
must be
quite lively
at
your place
now compared
to
normally.
I have
a
pretty
good
picture
of
what
the conversations
are like,
I’m just
a
bit
unsure
of
Uncle Jacob’s role in
them.[6]
My
health
is
extremely good,
better than
I
could
ever
have dreamed. This
I
really
do
owe
to Elsa’s
care,
who cooks
everything
for
me
herself
and
spares
no
pains
in
procuring
all the
necessities for
me.
Unfortunately I
hear
absolutely
nothing
of
my boys again, despite many
re-
quests.
Miza is
supposedly
in
hospital,
as
I’ve
learned from Dr.
Zürcher.[7] How
the
children
are
managing
is
a mystery
to
me.
I have to let it
go on
this
way
because
I
can’t do
anything
from here and
there
is
no one
whom
I could risk
sending
into the
lions den either.
Edith
wrote
me
that
she wanted to
join
the
German
Phys. Society.
This
is
strange,
because
she
really
gets nothing
out
of
it,
and
it
just costs
money.
Since
she
will
not be
dissuaded,
I
submitted
her
(and
Janka’s)[8]
names
there
at
their
request.
Their
membership
will
be addressed
at
the next
meeting.
It’s
beyond
me
what
use
it
is
to her. For
the
present,
tell her
that their
names are
entered
so
that
she does
not
think
I
had
completely forgotten
about the
matter.
Affectionate
greetings
to
all, yours,
Albert.
622. From
Eduard
Study
Bonn,
126
Argelander
Street, 23 September 1918
Highly
esteemed
Colleague,
I
thank
you cordially
for
your
so
very
kind letter
to
an
author
you
do
not
even
know
personally.[1]
I
appreciate
your
verdict and attach
great importance to
it.
You
agreed
on
precisely
those
points
closest
to
my
heart.
The little
book
was
given
a
very friendly reception
elsewhere
as well,
despite
its
sarcasm, especially
also
among philosophers;
but
only very
few
also
seem
to
have
a
sense
of
humor,
like
you
do,
for
the
topic.
And since
you are among
these
few,
I
may
perhaps
also tell
you
about
a
success
that
took
me
very
much
by
surprise. Namely,
advocates from all
the
philosophical
schools
I
had attacked
made
an
attempt
to claim
me as one
of theirs.
I would
give
anything
to know which
points
you
are
not able to
agree
with.
Is
it
too forward of
me
to ask
you, provided
it
can
be
done
briefly,
to commit
some
notes
on
this
to
paper?
I
really
do not have
the
intention of
dragging
you
