‎Autograph Letter Signed‎

‎Berlin 1924. Berlin: 1924.<br> <br> Full Description:<br> <br> EINSTEIN Albert. Autograph Letter Signed. Berlin: 9. IX September 1924.<br> <br> Autograph letter signed "A. Einstein" to Mr. Zeisler. One quarto page 11 x 8 1/2 inches; 280 x 217 mm. Manuscript letter on recto verso blank. With one horizontal center crease and one vertical center crease as expected in a letter. A few other light creases. Some minor chipping along edges. A closed split along horizontal crease not affecting manuscript. Overall very good.<br> <br> This letter with text in German is addressed to "Herr Dr. Zeisler" Sigmund Zeisler an German-Jewish U.S. attorney born in Austria. He was known for his defense of radicals in Chicago in the 1880s also known as the Haymarket Affair. His wife was the famous concert pianist Fannie Bloomfield Zeisler. Some unproven sources have said that Zeisler was Einstein's lawyer but regardless it is known that he and Einstein were good friends and had much correspondence over the years. According to "The Collected Papers of Albert Einstein" published by Princeton University Einstein was in correspondence during the 1920s with Zeisler regarding various American investments. According to a letter from Zeisler to Einstein on October 15 1921 "Zeisler had invested $4300 in American shares on Einstein's behalf in October 1921. He subsequently informed Einstein of the accumulated interest." Einstein wrote another letter in April of 1924 asking Zeisler to transfer American investments to his daughter and soon to be son-in-law as a dowery. Zeisler was to ensure the interest was paid on an annual basis to his daughter. In this present letter just six months later Einstein is thanking Zeisler for doing "many good things" and stating that he looks forward to seeing him again in Berlin.<br> <br> Translated by an outside party:<br> <br> "9. IX. 24. Dear Dr Zeisler Many thanks for your friendly and clearly stateed letter. Of course I agree with the offer. I immediately wrote the letter. Since I don;t know the exact address I an sending you the letter and ask that you forward it. It pleases me that we shall see each other again in Berlin. You have done many good things for which I thank you. I know that you have done these things gladly since you are a good person. Regards to you your wife and to your sons. A.

‎EINSTEIN, ALBERT‎

‎Autograph Letter Signed ALS Denouncing Racial Segregation‎

‎<p>Princeton NJ: np 1943. First edition. nb. Fine. EINSTEIN OFFERS STRONG AND PRESCIENT WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT TO THE LEADER OF THE NAACP IN THE FIGHT AGAINST RACIAL SEGREGATION AND DISCRIMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES. Background: Einstein's fight against racial discrimination in the United States:<br /><br />The imperative "to protect the rights of the individual. was Einstein's most fundamental political tenet. Individualism and freedom were necessary for creative art and science to flourish. Personally politically and professionally he was repulsed by any restraints. <br /><br />"That is why he remained outspoken about racial discrimination in America. As a Jew who had grown up in Germany Einstein was acutely sensitive to such discrimination. 'The more I feel an American the more this situation pains me' he wrote in an essay called 'The Negro Question' for the January 1946 issue of Pageant magazine. 'I can escape the feeling of complicity in it only by speaking out.'" Isaacson Albert Einstein 505. <br /><br />Even more directly in his 1946 commencement speech to Lincoln University the first degree-granting Historically Black College and University HBCU in the United States Einstein strongly denounced segregation as "an American tradition which is uncritically handed down from one generation to the next" noting that "There is separation of colored people from white people in the United States. That separation is not a disease of colored people. It is a disease of white people. I do not intend to be quiet about it." <br /><br />This remarkable letter - from 1943 - is one of the earliest examples of his interest in condemning racism in the United States. <br /><br />The letter:<br /><br />Dated 22 September 1943 and handwritten on his embossed Mercer Street Princeton letterhead Einstein writes in English to Walter F. White the enormously influential African-American civil rights leader who led the NAACP from 1929-1955 praising him for his work and revealing his own awareness of and frustrations with racism and prejudice in America. 
<br /><br />The text reads in full:<br /><br />Dear Mr. White:<br /><br />I have been quite impressed by the address you delivered some years ago at a meeting of the Princeton Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. I know how hard it is to awaken the conscience even of good-hearted and well-meaning people when deep rooted prejudices are in the way. It is a great work indeed which you are doing relentlessly for the betterment of the living conditions of our Colored fellow-citizens for justice and for the accomplishment of national unity of the American people.<br /><br />With sincere respect and kind wishes<br /><br />Yours <br />Albert Einstein<br /><br />-------------<br /><br />On April 28 1940 White was the keynote speaker at "an inter-racial meeting sponsored by the Princeton branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People" where his topic was "What Happens to Democracy When It Encounters the Color Line." Princeton Herald April 26 1940. At the time Princeton did not admit African Americans and the community was debating the question of whether or not to end segregation at the university. Princeton in fact did not admit its first African-American student until the fall of 1947. <br /><br />Einstein - writing in 1943 - notes that he heard White speak "some years ago". Something clearly must have deeply impressed Einstein about White's speech for him to write this thoughtful letter to White over three years after the event.<br /><br />Note: In addition to its content this apparently unpublished letter is also remarkable for being one of the very few letters Einstein hand-wrote in English during this period as German was still very much his preferred tongue. <br /><br />Princeton: September 22 1943. One page on Einstein's embossed Mercer Street Princeton letterhead 7.25x10 in visible handsomely matted and framed with a photograph of Einstein. Fine condition.</p> np‎
