Autograph correspondence card signed ('Albert') to his sister, Maja, and his brother-in-law, Paul Winteler, Lucerne, Switzerland. In German, one page, 140 x 90mm. Previously unpublished. In very good condition with central crease line.
​

Einstein writes that an old friend Albert Karr has passed on a letter from Paul Winteler which is already a year old. Its contents delighted him: there is no need for them however to return the 1,000 francs, as 'I can earn it more easily than you'. He refers jokingly to some 'lady pensioners' who are coming shortly, and who would suit the Wintelers, 'better than young girls, whose heads are still full of big ideas [die noch viel Rosinen im Kopf haben]'. He is in Lucerne as he has been invited to the 88th Naturvorscher-Versammlung in Innsbruck; then he goes to see their uncle Caesar Koch, and thence on to Leiden. The Naturvorscher-Versammlung (Scientific Congress) was where the famous 1920 'cockfight on relativity' took place between Einstein and Philipp Lenard in Bad Nauheim, with Einstein emerging victorious.
