Hannen Swaffer, one of London’s wittiest dramatic critics and columnists, touches a serious and moving note in this Open Letter to Dr. Einstein, wherein, reviewing the tribulations which Germany has inflicted upon him, he draws the consoling conclusion that being beyond mere nationality, Dr. Einstein belongs to humanity. This letter is reprinted with grateful acknowledgement to John Bull of London.
