Second wife of Albert Einstein (1876–1936). TLS in German, one page, 7.25 x 7, February 4, 1936. Mrs. Einstein writes to Miss Schloss. In part (translated): “You were a little girl at the time, when I met you in Wannsee. How many things we had to endure since then. I would have responded much sooner if I hadn’t fallen gravely ill for months. For 16 weeks I was completely isolated from the outside world and even now I require a lot of rest and an nowhere near a full recovery…. Once I am back to my old self again I very much would like for you to come and visit us. Right now I still have to ration my visits; My son-in-law was here for the first time, and my nephew, who has been here since September…. Give my best to Uncle Rudolf; I assume you are living with him….” Elsa died from heart and liver problems on December 20 of the same year. Light handling wear, otherwise fine condition.
