Mar. 1, 1901. “The paper is very difficult to understand, not least because of the large number of obvious misprints; from its lack of clarity
we can only assume that it had not been independently refereed ... Yet it was an extraordinarily advanced paper for a recent graduate who
was receiving no independent scientific advice.” John N. Murrell and Nicole Grobert, “The Centenary of Einstein’s First Scientific
Paper,”The Royal Society (London), Jan. 22, 2002, www.journals.royalsoc.ac.uk/app/home/content.asp.

31. Einstein to Mileva Mari , Apr. 30, 1901. The official translation is “blue nightshirt,” but the word that Einstein actually used, Schlafrock ,
translates more accurately as “dressing gown.”

37. Einstein to Mileva Mari , July 7, 1901.
38. Mileva Mari to Einstein, after July 7, 1901 (published in CPAE vol. 8 as 1: 116, because it was discovered after vol. 1 had been printed).

41. Renn 2005a, 109. Jürgen Renn is the director of the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in Berlin and an editor of the Collected
Papers of Albert Einstein. I am grateful to him for help with this topic.
42. Einstein to Mileva Mari , Apr. 15, 1901; Einstein to Marcel Grossmann, Apr. 15, 1901.
43. Renn 2005a, 124.
44. Einstein to Mileva Mari , Apr. 4, ca. June 4, 1901. The letters to and from Drude no longer exist, so it is not known precisely what Einstein’s
objections were.
45. Einstein to Mileva Mari , ca. July 7, 1901; Einstein to Jost Winteler, July 8, 1901.
46. Renn 2005a, 118. Renn’s source notes say, “I gratefully acknowledge the kindness of Mr. Felix de Marez Oyens, from Christie’s, who
pointed my attention to the missing page of the letter by Einstein to Mileva Mari , ca. 8 July 1901. As, unfortunately, no copy of the page is
available to me, my interpretation had to be based on a raw transcription of the passage in question.”
47. Einstein to Marcel Grossmann, Sept. 6, 1901.
48. Overbye, 82–84. This includes a good synopsis of the Boltzmann-Ostwald dispute.
49. Einstein, “On the Thermodynamic Theory of the Difference in Potentials between Metals and Fully Dissociated Solutions of Their Salts,”
Apr. 1902. Renn does not mention this paper in his analysis of Einstein’s dispute with Drude, and instead focuses only on the June 1902
paper.

53. Receipt for the return of Doctoral Fees, Feb. 1, 1902, CPAE 1: 132; Fölsing, 88–90; Reiser, 69; Overbye, 91. From Einstein to Mileva
Mari , ca. Feb. 8, 1902: “I’m explaining to [Conrad] Habicht the paper I submitted to Kleiner. He’s very enthusiastic about my good ideas
and is pestering me to send Boltzmann the part of the paper which relates to his book. I’m going to do it.”
