Princeton, 19 July 1948
Esteemed Dr. Meili,
I have asked my old friend Dr. Otto Nathan, who is at the same time the executor of my will, to call on you during his trip to Europe and to discuss the business matters with you. I keep no secrets from him and ask that you please speak with him entirely openly, as if I personally had come to see you.
I urgently advised my son against traveling to Zurich now. It would mean a dangerous upset for the sick woman and he couldn’t take care of any business because everything rests de facto on me. But I have not received a response from him yet.
Your kind proposals regarding the care for my sick son arouse my interest. One should consider that I myself am old and no longer healthy; for this reason it is very important that I leave behind clear conditions.
In utmost respect, 
	A. Einstein.
