It is not quite clear to me what the author of this update (Martin Blume) is claiming. He says that Abraham Pais, in his biography of Einstein, reports him correcting the error before submitting it to the Physical Review. Blume notes that this contradicts Kennefick, and also Einstein's own note at the end of the 1936 paper. It would also, it seems to me, make nonsense of Robertson's review, and his subsequent correspondence with Tate on the matter. As far as I can tell, this casts doubt on Pais's version, but it is not clear to me that Blume sees it this way.
