Description

The 70-year-old Einstein sends thanks for a birthday gift of a “pretty astronomic atlas”

TLS in German, signed "A. Einstein," one page, 8.5 x 11, blindstamped personal Princeton letterhead, March 24, 1949. Letter to Mr. And Mrs. Paul Falkenberg. In full (translated): "I was very pleased to receive the pretty astronomic atlas and indeed touched by the money you sent for charitable purposes. On receipt, the funds were immediately directed towards the intended use. Thanking you from the bottom of my heart for your birthday wishes, I remain with best regards." In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. One can imagine that Einstein was inundated with gifts relating to the cosmos throughout his years, given his monumental work in observing and defining the universe.
