Relativity 'nuts to crack': Einstein has 'pitched his nomad's tent in the old home country' -- the best bit of the holiday was a musical afternoon with Eduard and a 'temperamental Baroness. [Aurel] Stodola is completely stuck with relativity and gives me nuts to crack when he can't manage them'. Einstein is engaged for the jubilee of his alma mater in Zurich, but afterwards it is back home and back to work. Brief messages from Mileva and Eduard ('Teddy, stud. med.'), as well, presumbly, as Mileva's sketch, refer to Einstein's new grandson, Bernhard.
