EINSTEIN, Albert (1879-1955)
Typed letter signed ('A. Einstein') to A.C. Robbins, 112 Mercer Street, Princeton, 29 March 1951.
In English. One page, 245 x 175mm, with Einstein's blind-stamped address. Provenance: by descent.
Criticising American foreign policy. Einstein thanks Robbins for some books on his birthday (14 March), commenting humorously, 'It became clear to me on my birthday that my friends overestimated strongly the capacity of my brain'. He goes on to respond to Robbins's remarks about Western policy towards communist China and Russia, commenting that in the US 'there is practically no independent public opinion. There is an overevaluation of military power in general and U.S. military power in particular. Generally it seems that Europe is peace-minded and America eager for war'.
