TLS signed “A. Einstein,” one page, 8 x 10.25, blindstamped personal Princeton letterhead, February 23, 1945. Letter to Dr. I. Franklin Miller at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Arts Building, in full: "I am glad to inform you that I received—through the kindness of Dr. Spayde—the interesting book by Dr. Price. I am convinced that there is considerable truth in the matter. I observed myself that the people in Czecho-Slovackia were much better developed than the people in Switzerland. And I was convinced that this was due to the more primitive living-conditions. I wonder whether the relevant factors are already recognized. I believe that a good deal of our deterioration may be due to the fact that natural selection is to a great extent prevented by the progress of medicine." In very good to fine condition, with light creasing and toning, and a paperclip impression to the top edge. A unique letter connecting Einstein and Darwin, with the great physicist weighing in on Darwin's evolutionary theory—positing that natural selection has been slowed down by the advent of modern medicine.
