EINSTEIN, Albert (1879-1955)
Typed letter signed ('A. Einstein') to A.C. Robbins, 112 Mercer Street, Princeton, 22 January 1952.
In English. One page, 222 x 170mm, with Einstein's blind-stamped address, red pencil and pen annotations. Provenance: by descent.
'The need is not for optimistic expectations'. Einstein thanks Robbins for a poem and two articles, but declines to write an article Robbins had asked for [for the British Humanitarian League, with the title 'My faith in the future']: 'I cannot make up my mind to write an article of the proposed kind. The need is not for optimistic expectations but for a reasonable active attitude to prevent war and achieve security. I would not be able to say something in this line what [sic] has not been already well expressed by other people'.
