          According to The Ultimate Quotable Einstein, this quote is from a letter he sent to Jakob Ehrat in 1952.



          Following the citation to the Einstein Archive gets you to this link, although the letter itself is not available for the public to read: Ich habe mich sehr gefreut mit Deinem Brief, zumal ich aus demselben ersehe.



          It would seem that the quote is a translation.

            In case it's not obvious to other non-German-speaking readers here, the German text in this answer is just how that website titled the letter (presumably the opening sentence.) It's not the German version of this quote, which is purportedly contained in the letter that is not available for public viewing.

          • @reirab Yeah I figured that but couldn't get the entire thing to translate properly because I think it might cut off mid-sentence or something. If someone has a good translation, I'd appreciate an edit.

            @Laurel The actual title roughly translates to "I was very happy about/upon receiving your letter, especially since from it I can tell..." this appears to be the start of the first sentence. If the letter does indeed contain that quote it's not apparent from the description of the document.

          • There is what seems to be a serious error of grammar in the German text. Maybe it was right in 1952, but I would be surprised.
