Here is an Erwin Schrodinger signed letter we have sold in the past:
Erwin Schrodinger Lengthy Letter Signed Nobel Prize
Erwin Schrodinger typed letter signed, with lengthy and interesting scientific content regarding exponential decay, spectral lines and more, as well as political content indirectly criticizing the “adored Duce” Benito Mussolini (“I do not like helping people celebrate their own great men”). Letter is dated 3 September 1927, just one year after the Schrodinger equation was published, one of the founding tenets of quantum theory and the basis for Schrodinger’s Nobel Prize in 1933. Schrodinger begins his letter with the announcement that he’s leaving the University of Zurich for the Friedrich Wilhelm University in Berlin, where he would work with Albert Einstein for several years, before leaving Germany in 1933. Translated from German, letter reads in part,
“Please forgive me for taking so long to answer your kind letter from Mittenwald dated 08/07. The entire interim period here in Zurich was filled with lively negotiations even though, for some time, I had been under the impression that they would end up being fruitless. You see, the whole time the discussion covered – in great detail – only what the university and the technical college would expect me to do, whereas the vice versa was brought up rather late in the game. Yet I continued with this for as long as possible, sensing that my current superior authority at the university sincerely and vigorously wished to keep me here. Nevertheless, the available resources here are limited by their very nature. At the other site in [handwritten] Zurich however (where the means would be available), the desire to retain me has cooled down, I have no idea why. – Thus, the decision has been made. I can well say that now, as it has been decided, I am really pleased to be going to Berlin. The people there made every conceivable accommodation for me. I could see that they really wanted me there, and that is a very pleasant feeling after all.” Sold for $5,775.
