Einstein wrote this note at the age of 42 to 22-year-old chemistry student Elisabetta Piccini. He wrote this letter to Piccini, as she was refused to meet him. But Piccini was too shy to meet with such a famous person. The letter was written in native German and Einstein uses idiom signalling affection.
Many other letters were sold out along with this note. The letter written in 1928 was auctioned off for $103,000 (74,000 pound). In this letter Einstein describes the “Third stage of theory of relativity”.
