Arranging a visit on the Templiner See with his lover Grete Lebach.

Einstein also suggests that they discuss what limited options he would have to assist "L.S.", admitting that his influence was not great in "such cases." Lebach would emigrate to the United States sometime after Einstein's settlement there in 1933. Lotte Jacobi photographed the pair sailing together in Huntington, Long island during the summer of 1937.
