Source Description
Original Exhibition Caption: In January 1934, Albert Einstein was a guest of the Roosevelts at the White House. During his visit, Einstein wrote this poem and presented it to the President.
The State Department provided FDR with an English translation:
In the Capital's proud glory
Where Destiny unfolds her story,
Fights a man with happy pride
Who solution can provide.
Of our talk of yester night
There are cordial mem'ries bright;
In remembrance of our meeting,
Let me send you this rhymed greeting
A.E.

Den die Losung adamed bann
Beine Geoprade gooteree Nacht
Herytich Ther Land gedacht

Darum seed id disease gress
