...must confess that it weighs heavily on my mind that you are being burdened this way by me. This awareness haunts me all day long. I beg you sincerely to discuss with my sister how she can relieve the burden which is not suited for your already so heavily burdened shoulders. Help Miza [Mileva, Einstein's first wife] gain the necessary confidence in my sister so that she can take Albert, as would be the obvious thing under the prevailing circumstances. Don't give Albert the booklet; he isn't mature enough for it yet. His interest in such things...

Yet, I’m not the only overqualified employee at the theater. One of my colleagues attends NYU. Another goes to Dartmouth. One cannot help but wonder why this movie house has such a credentialed staff. It’s certainly...

Should we spend more on food and supplies for the kids—hardly a burden on our wallets—when they wouldn’t expect such things anyway? It doesn’t seem to matter to them. It astonishes me every day how they are always smiling, always eager to help us relive the crafts that we haven’t done...
