San Jacinto, postmarked Palm Springs, Jan. 27, 1931. Einstein has penned in blue ink: "Dear Tetel! Thank you for the note. My brain is right now being distilled in the California desert. It's very pleasant. Mama is getting cacti, but I don't have the written-down name with me here. Heartfelt greetings to you both. Your Father." Addressed in Einstein's hand to Eduard (nicknamed "Tetel"): "Herrn Eduard Einstein, Huttenstr. 62, Zurich, Switzerland." On the front of the postcard Ilsa Einstein (his wife) has added: "Heartfelt greetings from the California desert. Ilsa".
