"The August 7th auction is bursting with exceptional items from every imaginable collecting category, from U.S. Presidential, Science, and Americana, to World Leaders, Literature, and Sports," said John Reznikoff, the president and owner of University Archives. "As in our June sale, our August sale will feature a grouping of unique historical pieces deaccessioned from the prestigious Forbes Collection, as well as a significant number of lots relating to Ronald Reagan."
Lot 541 is the one-page autograph letter in German signed by Albert Einstein, dated October 9, 1937, and addressed to fellow physicist Cornelius Lanczos. The letter features about 100 words in Einstein's hand as well as around six mathematical formulae including two instances of Rik = 0, Einstein's second-most famous equation after E = MC2. The letter investigating general relativity through tensor calculus has an estimate of $35,000-$50,000.
Lot 521 is the two-page autograph letter signed by Davy Crockett, then a U.S. Congressman from Tennessee, dated April 9, 1834 and addressed to a Maine publisher. In the letter, Crockett is critical of President Andrew Jackson's executive overreach, writing, "… Jackson shall wield both sword and purse. His will is to be the law of the land." The letter should bring $18,000-$24,000.
