Albert Einstein (1879-1955)
Autograph note signed ('Einstein') to Max von Laue, Berlin, n.d. [after 1922?]
In German. 1½ pages, 60 x 103mm, on Einstein's business card, with his printed details, 'Prof. Dr. Albert Einstein, Member of the Prussian Academy of Sciences' and his address at Haberlandstrasse 5, Berlin.

Introducing an expert on electrical vibrations. Einstein writes 'I am sending you a Japanese man who is specialised in electrical vibrations. For the time being I have written a topic for him on a note that he will show you. I don't know what was done in this area (Sommerfeld?). I came to this through a planned experiment that I may have already told you about. If you want to suggest another topic to him, that's fine with me too'; the note concludes with New Year’s greetings.

Max von Laue (1879-1960) was one of Einstein's closest scientific colleagues, and his deputy at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute: the suggest project here may relate to his specialisms in crystallography and superconductivity. Arnold Sommerfeld (1868-1951), whom Einstein mentions, was a Munich-based theoretical physicist, who was highly influential in the early adoption of Einstein's special theory of relativity: he made significant contributions to quantum theory and the classical theory of electromagnetism. Einstein's Japanese visitor may be connected in some way with Einstein's own visit to Japan in 1922. Not in the Collected Papers.
