EINSTEIN, Albert (1879-1955). Autograph letter signed ('A.E.') to his first wife, Mileva ('L[iebe] M[ileva]'), [?Zurich], 8 April [1916], 3½ pages, 4to , on paper with printed heading of Hotel St Gotthard, Zurich. 'I AM GRATEFUL THAT YOU HAVE NOT ESTRANGED THE CHILDREN FROM ME'. Einstein writes after a few days spent with the children to communicate his acknowledgement to Mileva of the good care she has taken of them -- 'They are physically and spiritually in the best possible condition' -- and thanking her for the fact that, even though their care has fallen almost entirely on her, she has not attempted to estrange them from their father. He declines however the opportunity of meeting Mileva -- 'A conversation between us would have no purpose and could only be intended to open old wounds'; he goes on to discuss their divorce, which can only be initiated from her side, asking her, in three numbered questions, whether she is ready to do this, what her conditions would be, and whether she is happy for the proceedings to take place in Berlin, where Einstein judges it will be easiest.
