Dear Mrs Clifford,

I had talk with Einstein about your husbands† genius & his anticipations of some of the ideas involved in Relativity. At these Prof. Eddington had hinted in his book, {1} which Einstein has read. But Prof. Einstein does not read English readily, & it is of little use to send him English books.

I will take my chance of finding you in at 5 on Sunday afternoon at Chilworth St.

Yours truly {2}
Haldane
