TEXT 5. To Sanehiko Yamamoto17

Kyoto, 12 December 1922

Esteemed Mr. Yamamoto,

Under the impression of the great services you have rendered to me and my wife during our presence in Japan, I consider it an absolute duty to inform you of the following. The ship18 is departing from Moji in only 16 days’ time and in the interim I have nothing for you to accomplish on our behalf. So I feel it is unfair of me to have us impose upon Mr. Inagaki and his wife during this interval.19 Much as I love them both, I ask you please, in order to relieve my conscience, to leave my wife and me alone in Kyoto during this quiet period. You are truly doing enough for us by making possible for us such a long stay in this wonderful city. I also ask you please not to have anyone travel to Fukuoka and Moji purely as a personal favor to us.

At this time I would like to express my profound gratitude to you for providing us with the opportunity to see this wonderful country and for making our lives more pleasant throughout in such a generous and caring manner.

Cordial greetings to you, yours,

A. Einstein.

My wife was not in Osaka yesterday, because I had ordered her to remain in Kyoto. I did this because it was not known to me in time that an official function was supposed to take place in Osaka.20 My wife was very unhappy about having been the source of a disruption through no fault of her own.21
