EINSTEIN, Albert (1879-1955). Typed letter signed (“A. Einstein”) to Paul Epstein, Huntington, 10 August 1937.

In German. One page, 278 x 217 mm.

Writing from his Long Island summer home, Einstein discusses finding a translator for the Lehrbuch der Physik in elementarer Darstellung (4th ed. 1934) of Arnold Berliner (1862-1942), a Jewish physicist who returned to Germany in 1937 and committed suicide in 1942. Evidently beset by multiple requests, he also sends greetings to his personal physician in Pasadena, Gabriel Segall, and expresses his willingness to recommend a certain "Dr. Fischer".
