ALS in German, signed “A. Einstein,” one page, 8.5 x 11, September 17, 1924. Handwritten letter to artist Hermann Struck, humorously thanking him for the gift of a cigarette lighter which has remedied his lack of fire; Einstein says that the lighter works quite well and represents a real improvement to his lifestyle. In fine condition. Hermann Struck was a German Jewish artist and passionate Zionist known for his etchings; he created portraits of several distinguished subjects including Einstein, Freud, Nietzsche, and Ibsen. A fantastic Einstein letter that captures his playful side, and an excellent association piece.
