Dear Mr. Einstein;

March 12, 1947

 Enclosed find a check for $5.00 as a small contribution toward the fund for the Emergency Committee of Atomic Scientists.  I am very proud to have the honor of recieving a letter with your personal signature.
   I too, was an immigrant to this grand country, however as a pre-school child in 1907 and my husband came from Greece In 1905.  We are both college people through our own efforts and hard work.  Good fortune has been our lot. We have 3 sons , one has been at the University of Chicago for three years and two are in high school.
