Alberto,

The images look strange. It look more like a copy than the actual letter. That could be the quality of the image but I doubt it. Look at the feathering around all the typing, and signature is in the same color ink as the rest of the letter. Also the contrast was set so high on the image that it doesn't even look natural. 

Try to get a better, more natural image and post that.

Thanks,

Steve

I agree Steve, it looks like a printed copy?

I hope I am wrong, but the text looks a lot like inkjet printing... not a typewriter. There appears to be ink "spatter" around the letters... inkjets do this when they "spray" the ink powder. 

Are there indentations in the paper like you would expect to see if a typewriter struck the paper?

I believe the signature appears to be hand signed. But, if the letter was done by an inkjet, then there is no way Albert Einstein did the hand signing.
