27 of Einstein's personal letters going on auction block

LOS ANGELES - When he wasn't busy scribbling out the theory of relativity, Albert Einstein seems to have spent a fair amount of time writing letters involving topics such as God, his son's geometry studies, even a little toy steam engine an uncle gave him when he was a boy.

 

The Einstein Letters, which include more than two dozen missives, will go up for sale Thursday at the California-based auction house Profiles in History. Some were in English and others in German. Some were done in longhand, others on typewriters.

 

Amassed over decades by a private collector, the letters represent one of the largest caches of Einstein's personal writings ever offered for sale.
