The envelope bears a February 26, 1926 postmark. Einstein’s handwritten mathematical working notes are exceptionally scarce and considerably more desirable than ordinary signed correspondence. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Tahoma\" size=\"5\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Tahoma\" size=\"5\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEinstein fills much of the envelope with mathematical equations apparently exploring the relationship between classical mechanics and the emerging principles of quantum wave mechanics. Among the recognizable expressions are an exponential transformation involving Planck’s constant, derivative relationships, and the energy equation “aq² + bp² = W,” followed by additional substitutions and calculations. The mathematics appears to develop a Hamilton–Jacobi expression into a wave-mechanical form for a quadratic system resembling the harmonic oscillator.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Tahoma\" size=\"5\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Tahoma\" size=\"5\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe February 1926 date places the manuscript at the very birth of modern wave mechanics. Erwin Schrödinger published the first of his revolutionary papers introducing wave mechanics earlier that year and, on April 28, 1926, wrote directly to Einstein describing the new theory. Einstein was deeply engaged with these developments and with their relationship to the work of Planck, de Broglie, Heisenberg, and Schrödinger. These equations were therefore written during one of the most transformative periods in the history of quantum physics.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Tahoma\" size=\"5\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Tahoma\" size=\"5\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEinstein served on the League of Nations’ International Committee on Intellectual Cooperation alongside such celebrated intellectual figures as Marie Curie and Hendrik Lorentz.
