Description

TLS in German, signed “A. Einstein,” one page, 8.5 x 11, blindstamped personal Princeton letterhead, January 6, 1936. 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 remember our conversation very well and am happy to recommend you. In view of my isolated situation, however, I am not in a position to identify the individuals whom you might approach. For this reason, I am sending you the enclosed recommendation written in general terms." In very good to fine condition, with light toning and soiling, binder dings to the right edge, and two file holes to the left edge. Encapsulated and graded by PSA/DNA as "MINT 9."
