Einstein, Albert Autograph Letter Signed (“Albert Einstein”), to Helene Kaufler-Savic,congratulating her on her recent marriage Zurich, thursday, [11 october 1900] “Dear Miss Kaufler! “So it is true! I warmly congratulate you for your good fortune and your decision and wish you all the happiness a young girl could imagine possible. “Of course if the things I see for you in your cards should not come true and you become a swift and productive housewife, then be a pleasure to him and an example to the rest of us. “Unless the Lord has something else in mind, I will however drop in at some point and cast critical glances around your little nest, to be assured of everything with the certainty of an old nose. “My honey, along with her sister arrived here two days ago and as usual I am together with her all day long. Neither of us has been able to find a job and are living off private lessons — if only we could find something, which is still highly unlikely. Is this not just like the life of a handyman or even a gypsy? However, I think we will be quite content as always. “Hopefully you will be coming together again to Zurich, so that the friendship doesn’t get rusty. I am also looking forward to seeing you conduct yourself as the ‘better half.’ How your single classmates will envy you! “Once more, be warmly greeted and congratulated. Yours, Albert Einstein” With a 1-1/2 pp. Autograph Letter Signed from Einstein’s future first wife Mileva Maric (married 1903), integral on the same stationery, in which Mileva refers to her work in the laboratory.
