EINSTEIN, Albert. Autograph letter signed ('Albert') to his first wife, Mileva, Scharbeuz bei Lübeck, n.d. [c.1928-29], one page, 4to.
'I WILL NEVER AGAIN BE ALTOGETHER AS HEALTHY AS I WAS BEFORE'. After an illness, Einstein is full of the praises of the Baltic resort where he is staying, and urges that his second son, Eduard, be sent to join him: 'My heart is no longer doing anything out of the ordinary, but I am still a bit shaky on my feet ... how happy I am that there are no doctors here! That would be excellent for Tetel [Eduard] too, who is tending rather to hypochondria ... I am sorry that I couldn't come and visit you this summer. I will never again be altogether as healthy as I was before, so I will no longer be able to travel as I used to'.
