Astronomical Support Approved
Draft letter: Wilhelm von Siemens to Einstein, 21 January 1918, reproduction

The Board of Trustees of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Physics approves Freundlich’s employment. After a long struggle, Einstein’s goal of institutional support for Freundlich’s work to help confirm the General Theory of Relativity comes to fruition. Freundlich can finally attend to his main interest instead of just completing routine tasks at the observatory.
