Born (1921-2018) regarding the translation of a letter between Albert Einstein (1879-1955) and Max Born (1882-1970), G. V. R. Born's father, that had been published in Science.
In the letter, Einstein criticizes scientist Fritz Haber (1868-1934); however, due to a translation error, the criticism is attributed to Kasimir Fajans (1887-1975). Because of his close relationship with Fajans, Bredig hopes that by writing to Born, the error will be corrected.
Bredig includes a copy of a letter on the same matter that he sent to Irene Newton-John (née Born) (1914-2003), G. V. R. Born's sister, and the translator of the letter.
