EINSTEIN, Albert (1879-1955). Autograph letter signed ('Papa') to his elder son, Hans Albert, n.p., 24 June 1947, one page, 4to, illustrated with a depiction of a fish surrounded by the word 'mum'.
The sketch of a fish and the word 'mum' at the head of the letter are apparently a reference to Hans Albert's failure to write to his mother: 'Mama complains a great deal that she hears no news from you at all. Did you know that she has been in the hospital since the winter with a leg broken in three places? ... She asked me whether you had got the position. I answered, naturally, that I too would love to know, but didn't'. Einstin has been found to be suffering from an intestinal ulcer, 'But it is not too bad. Perhaps I've had it for years'. The condition of Einstein's sister Maja is much the same: 'I read her Sterne's Tristam Shandy in the evenings, an imperishable work'.
