'Thank you for sending me the comedy. I found it [...] interesting and greatly entertaining, which however did not prevent me from taking your work quite seriously.'
'I must begin by thanking you for the little book of satirical pieces ["Groteski"] which I read with great enjoyment and in that sympathetic mood which your work arouses in me.'
'I dictate these few words to thank you most heartily for your letters and especially for your little tale which I have read with absolute delight and appreciation of every point, and greatest sympathy with the mind which conceived it and the literary gift which guided the pen. During the last few weeks I have been finishing a novel and have been too absorbed to write to anyone.'
'Your Comédie du Laboratoire is perfect. Très chic — as French painters used to say of their pictures. This formula expresses the highest praise.'
'I liked "Engineer" very very much indeed! The idea, the execution, the style.[...] Shall I return the MS to you?'
'Heartfelt thanks for your letter and the pamphlet about Einstein which for me is a small masterpiece of its kind.'
