EINSTEIN, Albert (1879-1955). Autograph letter signed ('Albert') to his first wife, Mileva, n.p., 3 April 1926, one page, 4to.
MORE WORRIES ABOUT HANS ALBERT. Einstein refers to a letter from Heinrich Zangger which appears to refer to Mileva's mortgage, although as he is not clever enough to make out Zangger's handwriting, he has to ask Mileva for further details so that he can advise her. He is worried about Hans Albert, from whom he has no recent news: 'He seems to be walking blindly to his ruin, without us being able to do anything about it'. The letter concludes with arrangements for a walking expedition with his younger son, Eduard.
