<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 277794, member: 54"]Wonder what Einstein's siggie is worth? Guess u hafta tell whether it is really his or a secretary. When I was working for the Navy Department in DC, I had to retrieve a paper I'd trashed by mistake, and in looking thru trash can I found dozens of photocopies of letters from Albert E. to the Navy regarding wartime work on mines etc. the Navy had him contracted to do. The copies were new as I could tell from certain marks the copier was set up to make besides the copy. My paranoid mind decided that the boss who had been cleaning out old files from many seldom-touched olive-and brass file cabinets, had found the Einstein letter files and made copies to send to potential buyers. He was that kinda person. And yes, the letters should have been turned over to the National Archives. IF that's what happened, we'll never know.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
