31 May 1938
Dear Nathan,
To my regret I cannot do Stephen Wise the favor, because I don’t want to meddle in the party dealings here and certainly do not consider the plebiscite campaign right. 
The day before yesterday, I discussed with Mr. Leidesdorf the financial management matter. He will take care of it all and distribute my riches in various banks, in case of a major bankruptcy. 
Recently, a very likable Arab visited me about paving the way for a campaign for peace in Palestine. I’ll tell you about that later.
Cordial greetings, 
Yours,
	A. Einstein.
