Their number can hardly be estimated today. He corresponded with scientists, crowned heads, important statesmen, authors and artists. Last but not least Einstein exchanged uncounted letters with unknown and scientifically interested people, people looking for help and with children.</p> <p>The content of the letters with children were quite different from each other. Some of the children only wanted to know what he looked like; others congratulated him to his birthday or wanted an autograph. Others in turn hoped for a piece of advice from him, e.g. when they had problems in school, with friends or their parents. Some of them gave him practical advice.</p> <p>Albert Einstein was always willing to answer these letters.</p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="350" height="189" src="https://einstein-website.de/en/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2021/12/Airplane.gif" alt="" class="wp-image-687"/></figure></div> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">Here a small selection:</span></strong></p> <div style="height:10px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> <p>1920, to the question what he looked like.</p> <p><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color">“… Let me tell you what I look like: pale face, long hair, and a tiny beginning of a paunch. In addition, an awkward gait, and a cigar in the mouth … and a pen in pocket or hand. But crooked legs and warts he does not have, and so is quite handsome – also no hair on his hands as is so often found with ugly men.”</mark></p> <p>In 1943 he answered a little girl who had difficulties in school with mathematics.</p> <p><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color">“…Do not worry about your difficulties in Mathematics. I can assure you mine are still greater.<br>Best regards<br>Professor Albert Einstein.”</mark></p> <p>In 1947 a nine-year-old wanted an autograph.</p> <p><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color">“…Please send me your signature. I collect stamps and want to start collecting signatures from famous people like you.”</mark></p> <p>In 1951 a six-year-old girl gave Albert Einstein the following piece of advice.</p> <p><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color">“…I saw your picture in the paper. I think you ought to have a haircut, so you can look better.”</mark></p> <p>In 1953 a pupil thanked Einstein.</p> <p><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color">“…Our class is studying about the universe. I’m very much interested in space. I would like to thank you for all you have done so we can learn.”</mark></p> <p>In 1955 Einstein answered a congratulation letter of a class of an elementary school. The children had congratulated him to his 76<sup>th</sup> birthday and had enclosed a pair of cuff links and a tie pin.</p> <p><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color">“…I thank you all for the birthday present you have sent to me and for your congratulation letter. Your present will be quite an encouragement to me to dress a little more elegant in the future than I did up to now, because tie pin and cuff links only existed as far away memories for me.”</mark></p> <p>Albert Einstein wrote this letter on March 26, 1955. Only a few days later he died in Princeton, USA, on April 18, 1955.</p> <div style="height:10px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline">Bibliography:</span></p> <figure class="wp-block-table alignleft keinbalken" id="table4"><table class="has-fixed-layout"><tbody><tr><td>Alice Calaprice</td><td><strong><em>Dear Professor Einstein<br>Albert Einstein’s letters to and from children</em></strong></td><td>New York 2002</td></tr><tr><td>Alice Calaprice</td><td><em><strong>Einstein sagt.
