An increasingly uncommon letter of Einstein on the role of religions, philosophy, peace, and the dangers of the atomic age (that he helped usher in)Albert Einstein believed that wars stood in the way of human progress, and he was a lifelong pacifist (though he did not believe in pacifism at any price or in all situations). He was also an active promoter of world peace, from the days of World War I right up to his death in 1955. In fact, one of his last acts before his death was to add his signature to a statement of nine scientists warning that the world risked universal annihilation unless the institution of war was abolished.?Knowing his stance, people from all over the world appealed to him to assist various causes consistent with these beliefs, and to give statements supporting individuals and groups that did so.Einstein was also not a member or follower of any organized religion. He considered himself a Jew, but was not a practicing Jew. And as for the Christian churches, he felt that it ?since Constantine has always favored the authoritarian State, as long as the State allows the Church to baptize and instruct the masses". Their conduct in the years up to World War II was worse than disappointing, he thought, as they made the devil?s bargain - the evil compromise - with the Hitler regime. Einstein addressed this saying, ?Since when can one make a pact with Christ and Satan at the same time?" He added, "The Church has always sold itself to those in power, and agreed to any bargain in return for immunity?If I were allowed to give advice to the Churches, I would tell them to begin with a conversion among themselves, and to stop playing power politics.? This idea of an evil compromise or devil's pact is central to his feelings about organized religion.There was one exception to his criticism of religions - the Quakers. Their community aims at purifying the Christian world and generating social reform by creating direct experience with God, without intervention of clergy or other expressions of church. The Quakers greatly influenced science and industry, and their community is noted for the pursuit of peace and non-violence. Thus Einstein?s views fit into their belief system. ?If I were not a Jew I would be a Quaker,? he once wrote. Speaking to a Quaker gathering in 1938, he said, "With admiration and respect I have seen, in the course of many years, how successfully and selflessly the Society of Friends has worked in the entire world to lessen human suffering and to make the teachings of Christ apply to real life. Everyone who is concerned about a better lot and a more dignified stature for humanity owes deep gratitude to the Society of Friends. This Society is an admirable testimony against the assertion that every organization by its very nature kills the spirit which has called it into life.?In 1949 the Australian pathologist Alton R. Chapple, who was a Quaker, wrote to Einstein, in the then-current climate of concern regarding the perils of the atomic age, for "a few words of leadership and hope". Einstein responded, stressing the necessity for moral courage by the individual. He said that power is often in the hands of power-loving persons who know very little restrictions when it comes to the realization of their ambitious goals; and answering negatively the question whether self-restraint on what ?productive thinkers and explorers? research might not prevent further development of means of mass destruction. He gave three main reasons: 1) The already existing means of destruction are effective enough to bring about total destruction; 2) People really devoted to the progress of knowledge concerning the physical world like Faraday or Rutherford have never worked for practical goals, let alone military goals. And nobody could know in advance what kind of application might be developed on the basis of their discoveries; and 3) People of technical skill are so numerous and so dependent economically that they cannot be expected to refuse employment offered them by the state or private industry, even if they were able to clearly recognize that their work will lead to disaster on a world-wide scale. He concluded that hope can only be based on the intellectual and moral independence of a sufficient number of people, since ?honesty and courage of the individual to stand up for his convictions on every occasion is the only essential thing?.Chapple wrote Einstein again in 1954, about the Quakers, and a perceived contradiction that Chapple discerned in the 1949 letter, thinking that Einstein stated that he does not expect people to refuse to work in research that generates knowledge for the means of mass destruction. Einstein responded to Chapple, giving a virtual primer on his world view and opinions on how a religion and religious individuals could live a moral life and contribute something valuable to society and the cause of peace. This he felt the Quakers did.Typed letter signed, on his blind-embossed letterhead, Princeton, February 23, 1954, to Alton Chapple in Australia, illuminating Einstein?s judgment and standards of conduct. ?Thank you for your letter of February 16th. I consider the Society of Friends the religious community which has the highest moral standards. As far as I know they have never made evil compromises and are always guided by their conscience. In international life, especially, their influence seems to me to be very beneficial and effective.?There seems to me to be no contradiction in my remarks in my former letter to you. The rules applying to a moral elite can not be expected to be followed by the rank and file.??So here Einstein praises those religions with ?the highest moral standards? He especially lays out the need for them, and for individuals, to avoid ?evil? compromises, and to always be guided by conscience. If an individual does these things, or a dedicated group like the Quakers, they will gain influence that is both beneficial and effective. Einstein d.

Brigitte Kaufmann was born in Germany, but when the Nazis came to power in 1933 she fled to Paris. In France, Kaufmann worked as an actress under the name of Brigitte Ch?tel, and translated documents. She met her future husband, Alfred Alexander-Katz in Paris, and they married in 1939; the following day, her husband was taken to an internment camp. He was given the choice of being interned in a labor camp or joining the Foreign Legion and chose the latter. Alexander was then sent to Clermont in Vichy France and the family relocated there.Dr. Walter Rudlin was a social science professor at Sarah Lawrence College in New York, and actively involved in anti-fascist activities. He was the author of ?The Growth of Fascism in Great Britain? In September 1942 he left his position and joined the U.S. Board of Economic Welfare, whose chair was Vice President Henry Wallace. His wife Eryl was interested in bringing Jews in Europe out of harm?s way, and she knew the Alexander-Katz family.So Eryl sought to get Brigitte and her family safely out of Europe to Mexico, and sought Einstein?s help. On March 12, 1941, Einstein responded, noting that Brigitte is his relative. ?Thank you very much for your letter of March 11th. I am very gratified indeed to learn that our mutual friends, Fred and Brigitte Alexander-Katz, have some prospect to receive a visa into Mexico. I am certainly willing to vouch for their reliability and integrity, both personal and political. I have known Mrs. Brigitte Alexander-Katz - whose family is related to mine - since she was a little girl. Her husband, a very able engineer, will certainly be useful to any country which receives him. If you will send me the address of the proper Mexican authority, I shall gladly send any letter of recommendation desired.? This was a warm letter indeed, expressing true concern and friendship for the Alexander-Katz family.On April 3, 1941, Einstein again wrote Rudlin, noting ?Enclosed I am sending you the requested letters in the hope that they may be successful.? But there were delays and no visa, so Rudlin wrote Einstein seven months later, asking him to take the matter up with the Mexican government.Typed letter signed, on his blind-embossed letterhead, Princeton, December 20, 1941, to Mrs. Eryl Rudlin, saying that he expects the visa to be granted, but does not feel he ought to approach the Mexican government directly. ?The Mexican authorities know that I am interested in the case of the Alexander-Katz family; they have kept me informed about the whole development of the matter. I have no doubt that admission to Mexico will be granted as it has been granted to hundreds of people in the same situation. I can give Mr. Alexander-Katz a recommendation but it is out of the question that I ask the Minister of Education to send him an official invitation. I have already done what could be done without intrusion.?Despite what he writes here to calm Mrs. Rudlin, Einstein might have exerted some gentle pressure on Mexico by contacting the Mexican ambassador to the U.S., Gilberto Bosques; or the Alexander-Katz visas may have already being granted at that moment. The Einstein Archives is silent on this subject. But soon after Einstein soon wrote this letter, in 1942 a telegram to the young Alexander-Katz family arrived stating that Einstein and Rudolph Uhlman, a lawyer in New York, had secured visas through Ambassador Bosques for them to escape to Veracruz, Mexico aboard the ship San Thom?.In Mexico Brigitte she became a noted author, actress, director and translator. She became the first woman in Mexico to produce and direct television programs. Speaking five languages, she also worked as a translator for UNESCO and Amnesty International. Her daughter Susana and granddaughter Sophie also became actors.

In this letter from Einstein to David Bohm, Einstein discusses the importance of connecting a key principle of the relatively new theory of quantum mechanics (the ?Born interpretation?) to physical quantities that can be measured in the real world. To him, it is essential that mathematical theories be connected to measurable quantities. In this letter, Einstein?s uneasiness with quantum mechanics is apparent, saying that validation of the seemingly random quantum mechanics ??can only be done on the basis of classical mechanics.? Without this validation, quantum theory has essentially ?no controllable meaning.??Max Born was a renowned physicist who was crucial for the development of quantum mechanics (and also the Ph.D. supervisor of many important physicists including J. Robert Oppenheimer). Quantum mechanics describes the weird behavior of tiny subatomic particles. It?s also the guiding theory that led to critical technologies like nuclear power, MRI machines, and transistors in computers and phones. One of Born?s biggest contributions to quantum mechanics was the interpretation of the probability density, which is a mathematical operation performed on the ?psi-function? (in Einstein?s words) to predict the most probable physical quantities of a quantum particle. Einstein believed that probabilities only make sense if you can determine the values that they predict independently by measurement. This is easy to do in classical, Newtonian, mechanics (the physics of big things in everyday life). But Einstein said we can?t measure it for something like a ?bound electron? (i.e., an electron in an atom). In order to interpret Born?s probability density function, you need to connect the mathematics to real values.? Einstein?s correspondence with Born on this subject is published and famous.To Einstein, the universe is observable and measurable.When confronted with one of the principle tenets of Quantum Mechanics, Einstein remarked, now famously, ?Quantum mechanics is very imposing. But an inner voice tells me that it is not the real McCoy. The theory delivers a lot but hardly brings us closer to the secret of the Old One [God]. I for one am convinced that He does not throw dice.? This statement was made in one of those significant letters to Born.? What he meant here is that rules of science cannot be random, and in the rolling of dice we would have to accept unknown variables and therefore be unable to predict precisely via objective measurements.? Therefore, in Quantum Mechanics (as in gambling), an uncertainty of measurement exists. And to Einstein, the universe is observable and measurable. He did not object to Quantum Mechanics per se; indeed he made notable contributions. But he eschewed any reliance on what was not observable and knowable.David Joseph Bohm was an American scientist who has been described as one of the most significant theoretical physicists of the 20th century and who contributed unorthodox ideas to quantum theory, neuropsychology and the philosophy of mind.? His first book, Quantum Theory, published in 1951, was well received by Einstein, among others. But Bohm became dissatisfied with the orthodox interpretation of quantum theory he had written about in that book.Bohm?s aim was not to set out a deterministic, mechanical viewpoint, but to show that it was possible to attribute properties to an underlying reality, in contrast to the conventional approach. He began to develop his own interpretation (the De Broglie?Bohm theory, also called the Pilot wave theory), the predictions of which agreed perfectly with the non-deterministic quantum theory. He initially referred to his approach as a hidden variable theory. Bohm originally hoped that hidden variables could provide a local, causal, objective description that would resolve or eliminate many of the paradoxes of Quantum Mechanics,? the measurement problem and the collapse of the wavefunction. However, Bell?s theorem complicates this hope, as it demonstrates that there can be no local hidden variable theory that is compatible with the predictions of Quantum Mechanics.? The Bohmian interpretation is causal but not local. Albert Einstein, who had suggested that Bohm search for a realist alternative to the prevailing Copenhagen approach, did not consider Bohm?s interpretation to be a satisfactory answer to the quantum question.The Copenhagen interpretation is an expression of the meaning of Quantum Mechanics that was largely devised in the years 1925 to 1927 by Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg. It remains one of the most commonly taught interpretations of Quantum Mechanics.? According to the Copenhagen interpretation, physical systems generally do not have definite properties prior to being measured, and Quantum Mechanics can only predict the probabilities that measurements will produce certain results. The act of measurement affects the system, causing the set of probabilities to reduce to only one of the possible values immediately after the measurement.In classical mechanics, a particle has, at every moment, an exact position and an exact momentum. These values change deterministically as the particle moves according to Newton?s laws. Under the Copenhagen interpretation of Quantum Mechanics, particles do not have exactly determined properties, and when they are measured, the result is randomly drawn from a probability distribution. The Schr?dinger equation predicts what the probability distributions are, but fundamentally cannot predict the exact result of each measurement.Typed letter signed, on his blind embossed letterhead, February 17, 1953, Professor Bohm.? ?Dear Bohm:? I thank you very much for the prompt reaction to my little article. I did, of course, not expect that you would agree with me. For scarcely anyone is inclined to abandon an enterprise in which le has invested a great deal of work.?I do not want to answer your letter in detail although it deserves it very much. Only a short remark concerning the interpr.

But the chronic illness that would lead to his death was already bothering himMartin Oppenheimer was for years on the faculty of Temple University in Philadelphia, PA, and was co-editor of ?Sociologists and the Movement? (published by Temple). He also wrote many articles about the 1950s and 1960s in numerous publications. Afterwards leaving Temple, he was Assistant Director of Studies of the American Friends Service Committee.While at Temple he was a member of the Temple Socialist Club. In that capacity, he invited Albert Einstein to speak to the club. Unfortunately Einstein was not well and could not accept the invitation.Einstein's birthday was March 14, 1879.Typed letter signed, on his Institute for Advanced Study letterhead, Princeton, March 15, 1950, to Oppenheimer. ?Thank you for the invitation to address your rally. Poor health, however, does not permit me anymore, to participate in such activities.?Einstein?s statement was not just an excuse. In 1950 his health was generally poor, marked by chronic digestive issues including liver ailments, stomach ulcers, inflammation of the gall bladder, jaundice, and intestinal pains. And later, there was a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm that led to his death in 1955 at age 76.

A generous demonstration by Einstein of his loyalty to friends and belief in the importance of musicDr. Theodor Rosenheim was a physician at the famed Medical University Clinic of the Charit? in Germany in the 1880s. He was primarily concerned with the physiology and pathology of the digestive tract. He published an early textbook on the ?Pathologie und Therapie der Krankheiten des Verdauungsapparates? Rosenheim was one of the first in Germany to describe and publish on ulcerative colitis. He was intensively involved in the technical development of esophagoscopy and gastroscopy, which at that time were only possible with rigid instruments. The Rosenheim line, which was named after him, described the largest diagonal diameter of the gastric percussion figure.Rosenheim was appointed professor (extraordinarius) at Berlin University in 1921. He also founded a polyclinic and a private sanatorium for stomach and intestinal patients. He was well respected in Berlin and his private practice developed successfully with a large circle of patients, including Albert Einstein.Theodor?s wife was Hedwig Rosenheim and their daughter Kate was a hero of the Holocaust. She helped several thousand children from Jewish families to escape from Germany. She personally accompanied the legendary Kindertransporte to England, among other places. She travelled to the USA in 1936 to negotiate directly with the aid organizations there. She then returned to Germany to actively continue the aid campaigns. Theodor died in 1939. K?te Rosenheim was able to flee Berlin together with her 72-year-old mother Hedwig Rosenheim on January 23, 1941. They reached Havana, Cuba, via France, Spain, and Portugal. From there they were able to continue to New York, where they arrived on April 1, 1941.Albert Einstein was an accomplished violinist and music lover who was inspired by music in his scientific work. He often said that he would have been a musician if he hadn't pursued science. Another music lover was Hedwig Rosenheim. She had escaped Germany without her possessions, especially her precious musical instruments. Upon arrival in the United States, she contacted the old family friend, Albert Einstein, hoping he could help her get a flute, either for herself or another escapee, one who may have agreed to look for her. Einstein was sympathetic and rose to the occasion. He even contributed some of his personal funds to secure the flute.Typed letter signed, his vacation house in Knollwood at Saranac Lake, N.Y., September 11, 1941, to his old friend Mrs. Hedwig Rosenheim in New York City. ? The matter of [i.e. the quest for] the flute shall not fail. First, one should know what the committee is giving out ? or loaning. Second, there is the Hebrew Free Loan Society, 108 Second Ave., New York, which in such cases provides interest-free loans in exchange for the backing of two guarantors. I will serve as a guarantor and contribute 20 dollars on top of that. The man should visit both institutions and can show this letter. In the hope of receiving a positive report soon, I remain, with warm greetings, your A. Einstein.? ?PS. Starting next week, my address will again be in Princeton.? The committee he referred may have been the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, though there were others as well.It shows a lot about Einstein - his generosity, his continued concern for old friends who had escaped from Germany, and love for music - that he volunteered to make a personal financial contribution to obtaining the flute.

Rare original black and white silver gelatin photograph of Albert Einstein. Signed "A Einstein 52." Full-length group portrait showing Albert Einstein standing with Hadassah National President Rebecca Beldner Shulman and others at his Princeton home in June of 1952 during a celebration marking the commencement of building of the Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Center in Jerusalem. The photograph measures 8 inches by 9.5 inches. Double matted and framed. The entire piece measures 19 inches by 20.5 inches. An exceptional piece. Albert Einstein developed the general theory of relativity, one of the two pillars of modern physics (alongside quantum mechanics). Einstein's work is also known for its influence on the philosophy of science. Einstein is best known in popular culture for his massâ"energy equivalence formula E = mc2 (which has been dubbed "the world's most famous equation"). He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics for his "services to theoretical physics", in particular his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect, a pivotal step in the evolution of quantum theory (David Bodanis).

He prophesizes, however, that the road ahead for the Jews will be ?arduous and very painful?The Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, was founded in 1930 by educator Abraham Flexner, with funding from department store magnate Louis Bamberger. Flexner first recruited noted mathematicians from Princeton University to join the Institute, then broadened its scope by including established scholars in economics, politics, and humanistic studies. In 1932 Flexner offered Einstein a faculty position at the Institute. Einstein?s decision was effected by historical events, as in January 1933, Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of Germany. Soon after Einstein made the decision to resign from his Berlin position, give up his German citizenship, and accept the position in Princeton. The ocean liner Westmoreland, which carried Einstein, at age 54, to what would become his new home country, arrived in New York Harbor on October 17, 1933.Einstein found the Institute, and life in the United States, congenial, so in April 1934, just six months after his arrival, Einstein announced that he was staying in Princeton indefinitely and assuming a permanent, full-time status at the Institute. He would remain in the United States the rest of his life.? Meanwhile, he was very much a celebrity, and was invited to the White House to meet with the Roosevelts. He politely declined, saying he did not want to call attention to himself, a position that German Jews had become accustomed to adopting during the rise of Naziism. However, the First Lady, Eleanor Roosevelt, intervened, writing Einstein directly, requesting his presence. So Einstein and his wife Elsa arrived at the White House on January 24, 1934, had dinner, and spent the night. President Roosevelt was able to converse with them in passable German. Among other things, they discussed Roosevelt?s marine prints and Einstein?s love for sailing. On learning that the Einsteins had decided to stay in the United States, Roosevelt suggested that the Einsteins should accept the offer of some Congressmen to have a special bill passed on their behalf, that he would sign, granting them citizenship, so that they would not have to endure the five year waiting period. The Einsteins declined the President?s generous suggestion, saying they wanted to be treated like any other applicant for American citizenship. Because the Einsteins had not been sure of their ultimate destination, and declared themselves as visitors instead of immigrants when they arrived in October 1933, this meant that they would need to leave the U.S. and return again to declare intention to seek citizenship.The United Jewish Appeal (UJA) planned a fund-raising dinner in Einstein?s honor for May 28, 1935. This was exactly the time the Einsteins had set aside to leave the country to perfect their citizenship, so he was forced to decline the invitation. He did, however, provide them with a statement, that was received by the UJA on?May 25, the very day the Einsteins stepped onboard the Queen Mary to travel to British-owned Bermuda for a few days to satisfy the formalities. The royal governor was there to greet them when they arrived in Hamilton, and he recommended the island?s two best hotels. Einstein found them stuffy and pretentious. As they walked through town, he saw a modest guest cottage, and that is where they ended up.Typed statement signed, in German, Princeton, May 23, 1935, time stamped as received on?May 25, to be read at the UJA dinner and issued to the press accordingly. It takes the moral high ground, but warns of great dangers ahead. ?Unfortunately, because of non-deferrable obligations, I can only express in writing my recognition and gratitude for the assistance provided to the many unfortunate people by the dinner on the?28th of May.?We can gain consolation in this critical time if we compare the moral standard of our friends and our enemies with each other.? The result of such a comparison shows us that our way for world history can be considered the better one, even if at times it is arduous and very painful.? Our research indicates that this important statement is unpublished, as the dinner was postponed and it was never released to the press.But even this moving and forceful statement was not enough for the event organizers. Learning that Einstein could not attend, they postponed the dinner. Instead, the $50-a-plate dinner for the benefit of the UJA, arranged by that organization and the Council of Jewish Organizations, was held in New York City on?June 26, with Einstein in attendance. About 1,000 people attended the banquet, at which Einstein spoke. In his speech, Einstein returned to the same theme of morality as in the above statement, saying that the "moral disintegration and intensified national egoism" of the times requires all Jews to strengthen their ranks to preserve Jewry. Of foremost importance, he said, was the upbuilding of the settlement in Palestine. On?June 28, the UJA announced it was using the proceeds from the dinner to aid German refugees in New York City by allocating funds to local agencies equipped to care for the refugees.Einstein reentered the U.S. from Bermuda on June 3, 1935. On January 15, 1936, the Einsteins submitted their declaration of intention to become citizens of the United States.

The scientist, who was Jewish, arrived in England while a bounty had been put on his head by the Nazis who named him an enemy of the regime. Commander Oliver Locker-Lampson, an MP and naval officer, had become politically anti-fascist in the lead up to the Second World War. Hearing that the world-famous scientist had received death threats from Nazi sympathisers in Belgium, Commander Locker-Lampson reached out to Einstein and offered him refuge at a camp on Roughton Heath near his home, Newhaven Court, in Cromer, North Norfolk. On October 17, 1933 Albert Einstein and his wife Elsa moved to the US and Albert took up a position at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, New Jersey.Professor Julius Stenzel was a German classical philologist and philosopher. He l was a member of a disciplinary committee that expelled some Nazi students from the university in 1930 who had disturbed the service of the liberal theologian Otto Baumgarten . After the seizure of power of the National Socialists, Stenzel was denounced by a student and given a temporary leave of absence. Despite political rehabilitation, he was transferred to the University of Halle on November 1, 1933, on the basis of Section 5 of the Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service . Here he died two years later after a short, serious illness.

Extremely rare original photograph boldly signed "Albert Einstein Jersusalem 1923" during his only trip to Palestine in 1923. Einstein's return voyage from his tour of Japan and China took him via the Red Sea and Suez Canal which allowed him to accept the invitation of Arthur Ruppin, the director of the Palestine office of the Zionist Organization in Jaffa to visit the region for twelve days. Einstein arrived in Port Said on February 1, 1923, and from there he traveled to Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Jaffa and Haifa. The photographer, Zvi Oron, began his career in Warsaw and the United States before opening a studio in Tel Aviv in 1919. In 1930 he moved to Jerusalem and opened a studio of Jaffa Street working in the service of press clients and the British Government. He was well regarded for his candid images that captured daily life in the British Mandate. The Zionist archive holds over 1,300 of his negatives. Double matted and framed, the entire piece measures 19.75 inches by 15.5 inches. An exceptional piece. This is the only signed photograph known from his time in Palestine. Albert Einstein developed the general theory of relativity, one of the two pillars of modern physics (alongside quantum mechanics). Einstein's work is also known for its influence on the philosophy of science. Einstein is best known in popular culture for his massâ"energy equivalence formula E = mc2 (which has been dubbed "the world's most famous equation"). He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics for his "services to theoretical physics", in particular his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect, a pivotal step in the evolution of quantum theory (David Bodanis).

Kein Einband. Zustand: Sehr gut. Einstein, Albert (1879-1955) - Humorous typed letter signed re: chocolates and limit speed - A German-born theoretical physicist. He developed the general theory of relativity, one of the two pillars of modern physics. Best known for his mass-energy equivalence formula E = mc2 - "the world's most famous equation". Received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics. Fantastic typed letter signed "A. Einstein". 1p., 8.5 x 11.0 inch, Princeton, 1949 March 28. On his blind embossed "A. Einstein 112, Mercer Street, Princeton, New Jersey stationery", erh. (received) 30/3 in pencil at the top, signed in dark black ink. Addressed to Mr. L. Manners in New York. In German, in full: "Sehr geehrter Herr Manners, Ihr Brief war wirklich erquickend. Man fühlt die freundliche Gesinnung und freut sich. Was nun die von Ihnen mit so viel Recht gepriesenen Pralinen anbelangt, so ist der Vergleich mit der Grenzgeschwindigkeit wohl berechtigt. Ich habe es konstatiert indem ich unter Missachtung strengster medizinischer Vorschrift eines aus der Menge probierte. Es ist gut, wenn man etwas produzieren kann, das dauernd des allgemeinen Interesses gewiss ist; mit dem Gehirn allein lässt sich das nicht zuwege bringen". Translated: "Dear Mr. Manners, Your letter was really refreshing. One feels the friendly attitude and is happy about it. As far as the chocolates you so rightly praised, the comparison with the limit speed is probably justified. I found it out by trying one of the crowd, disregarding the strictest medical regulations. It's good when you can produce something that is always of general interest; that cannot be achieved with the brain alone." Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. Mailing folds, else fine condition. Beautiful and humorous letter from the great scientist! COMES WITH A CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY BY ANDREAS WIEMER HISTORICAL AUTOGRAPHS.
