The letter transcribed:

5-18-19
Dear Mr. Holder:
It is a great pleasure for me that my son was able to
begin his apprenticeship in the shop under your supervision.
He was very happy when he wrote me about it and I myself am
as thankful as he is. How happy I would have been as a boy,
if I had had such an amazing opportunity! In six weeks I have to
lecture again in Zurich and I am looking forward to
thanking you again in person.

With best regards
sincerely yours

A Einstein.
