Autograph reply in German from Professor Einstein on the reverse, fourteen lines, in ink, with his hopes for the future: 1) that this year may bring broadest possible international agreements concerning disarmament on land and sea, 2) that a solution of the international war debts will be found which will allow all European states to pay their obligations without having to pawn their property abroad, 3) that an honest arrangement can be reached with the Soviet Union which relieves this land from external pressure and allows its internal development to proceed unhampered (creased and slight tearing on folds).
