EINSTEIN ALBERT: (1879-1955) German-born theoretical physicist, Nobel Prize winner for Physics, 1921. T.L.S., A. Einstein, one page, 4to, Mercer Street, Princeton, New Jersey, 25th February 1942, to Hermann Broch, in German. Einstein states that he has read Broch's manuscript with great interest, remarking 'I really believe that your method brings the important subject closer to understanding' and concluding 'I will be pleased if I am given the opportunity to be of use to you through my judgement'. A letter of interesting association. One small, light stain to the upper edge and some very light creasing and a couple of extremely small, minimal tears to the edges, VG
Hermann Broch (1886-1951) Austrian writer, remembered for two works of modernist fiction, The Sleepwalkers (1930-32) and The Death of Virgil (1945). From August to September 1939 Broch had resided in Einstein's Mercer Street home while the physicist and his wife were on vacation.
