Albert Einstein typed letter signed,dated 23 February 1947 with excellent analysis post-World War II. Composed on his personal letterhead with his Princeton address embossed at top, Einstein writes to Commandant A. Bly in Belgium. In part, "I was very happy to receive your kind letter…and to hear that you and your family have come well through those horrible years…It is strange to see, how little the people are learning even by the most painful experiences. It seems that the British and the Americans are making the same mistakes as after the first world-war by not preventing Germany to get strong and dangerous again. And they do it for very similar reasons. As soon as such a catastrophy [sic] is over - nobody is seriously striving to prevent the next one. I was deeply astonished by this fact already after 1919!
I like very much my life in America. I have my own little house with a pretty garden and I am working now with the same pleasure as I did in younger years…[signed] A. Einstein." Two page letter (front and verso) measures 8.5" x 11". Shallow folds, including one through signature, else near fine condition.
