Letter to Theodore Menzel, a German national and American resident who had initiated a correspondence with the theoretical physicist in late November 1933. Einstein's letter, in full (translated): "I have had the opportunity on multiple occasions to converse with Mr. Theodor Menzel about certain observations that he has made in recent years. On these occasions, I have seen that he is a cultured, capable, and intelligent man. He will certainly show himself to be useful and reliable in a business career, as Mr. Menzel's references also demonstrate. I would be greatly pleased if Mr. Menzel were to find employment matching his capabilities." In very good to fine condition, with light toning and soiling, and binder dings and two file holes to the left edge. Encapsulated and graded by PSA/DNA as "GEM MT 10."
