EINSTEIN, Albert (1879-1955). Autograph letter signed ("A. Einstein") to Emma Darmstadt, Princeton, 26 January 1952. In German. One page, 279 x 214mm (moderate toning). Einstein offers his condolences over the death of Emma's husband Georg Darmstadt and recalls fond memories of the Stern family household in Zurich. Acknowledging receipt of the sad news from Emma Darmstadt (the sister of Antonia Stern), Einstein admits he could "imagine what you all had to go through," adding, "Six months ago, I myself lost my dear sister, who had lived with me for the past decade." But he takes solace in the fact that “when a life has been harmonious, a beautiful and comforting memory remains, which suppresses the feeling of abandonment." He then turns to the past, remembering that "For my entire life, I have kept in mind your paternal home in Zurich as an ideal of human fellowship on a small scale. Both of your parents were so kind and mellow, characteristics which one very rarely finds. A gracious ambiance permeated everything."
