To Pauline Einstein [Berlin, 16 June 1919] Dear Mother, I am very glad about your report that the pain has subsided.[1] On the 28th I’ll be traveling and will then come as soon as possible to you all in Lucerne.[2] I’ll commute back and forth between Lucerne and Zurich, squeezing my lectures there into half a week, if possible.[3] In a Dutch newspaper it was reported that both ex- peditions obtained successful images of the solar eclipse,[4] so the result should be publicized within 6 weeks. Heartfelt greetings to all of you, yours, Albert. 62. From Heinrich Zangger [Zurich, before 18 June 1919][1] Dear friend Einstein, Your letter reached me just after my return from Lucerne & a visit with your mother. Before the report by the doctor, Fräulein Tobler, I knew nothing about your mother being in Switzerland.[2] The pain is subsiding a little, the swelling in the legs is very heavy (compression of the leg vein or thrombosis in the lower pelvis).

You are optimistic about Germany, that good in the nation will prevail. Yet Ba- varia should secede & unite with Austria, as [Stodola] always maintained. Muehlon is vehemently against that. I don’t know.[5] Why shouldn’t Planck come, circumstances permitting?[6] I only do solid busi- ness in physics, with good polymaterials: Planckeinstein. Weyl is coming today to visit me. Do write to him, he will be pleased. I heard his course lecture. One thigh
