Description

Einstein citing “powers of judgment of an ordinary layman”

TLS in German, signed “A. Einstein,” one page, 8.25 x 11, blind-stamped personal letterhead, February 16, 1943. Letter to Helen Lorz in New York. In full (translated): “In my view you know how to express your opinions in good form. In these psycho-anthropological matters I myself have only the powers of judgment of an ordinary layman and I don’t know anyone to whom you could entrust your ideas without qualms for a critical evaluation. Under these circumstances I consider publication in a journal to be possible and advisable, particularly if you bring out clearly what is problematical and uncertain about the subject.” In fine condition, with intersecting folds, one through a single letter of signature. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
