    Consider the potentials associated with the Weinstein equation with parameter \(k\) in \(\mathbb{R}\) \[ \sum_{j=1}^n \frac{\partial^2u} {\partial x_j^2}+\frac{k} {x_n} \frac{\partial u}{\partial x_n}=0, \] on the upper half space in \(\mathbb{R}^n\). We look at translates of curves, \(\Gamma^\tau\), which lie in the \((x_1,x_n)\) plane and meet the boundary with degree of tangency \(\tau\). We define an \(\alpha\) dimensional, non-isotropic Hausdorff measure \(H_\alpha^\tau\) on the boundary, \(\mathbb{R}^{n-1}\), associated with a pseudo-distance depending on \(\tau\). Suppose \(p\) is a Weinstein potential whose representing measure satisfies a growth condition corresponding to a weight \(\omega\). We show that the limit of \(p\) along \(\Gamma_x^\tau\) is zero for every \(x\) in the boundary except for a set of \(H_\alpha^\tau\)-measure zero. We give an example to show that this exceptional set is optimal. The special case when \(\omega=\tau=1\) gives a direct generalization of the well known Littlewood theorem.
