Cher Ami,

Sincerely, also to Mrs G.

Dear Professor,

Tomorrow, a small package will be shipped to your address; it contains the gift by which, long, I wanted to thank you for your portrait, that you had offered. There is some time, Stanley Hall had asked me to donate a photograph of me at the seminar of Psychology Worcester. This is how you will reach a copy of the photograph that I had made for the occasion.

Your manuscript is on my table for more than a week. I read it several times. Concrete, I do not see what I could do to note, except that I found in my own thoughts every word, there is a relief to see it all in black and white; how you did it is particularly satisfying. - I will mention a few points altogether secondary :

1. P. 20, you say how you came to Rank, but his name is not mentioned. I do not know if this is intentional, but I wanted to point out.
2. P. 27, there is certainly an omission : "Havelock Ellis, who had followed its development with sympathy. "It certainly lacks at this location : "From the beginning".
3. The qualifier you assign to Hoche does he not have unfortunate consequences? You are right, of course, but it may be better to remove.

I could not mention anything else. Otherwise, at most, I appreciated being able to, in my capacity as editor, read the manuscript before other. This was compensation for the hard work of the last few months.

I just finished my work on the drive to see. Now, I need to overcome any force my account. I hope that I will receive all contributions in the course of this month.

I return herewith the letter Jelgersma, I had been sent by Jones; it made me very happy. - You should definitely know that I correspond frequently with all members of the Committee. - For Reik, I do my best; but it is not easy to find something.

I ask the question to our group's participation in the research on children [Children Research] and then give you response. ‘

With cordial greetings. Yours

Abraham.

Dear Doctor !

I am very glad to hear that you are well and I think that soon the precariousness of life will not affect you more than other human beings¹. The merit of the prosperity of your offspring also goes to your wife !

Your interest in Shakespeare ² is also very pleasing. I often wonder the need for new poets from humanity. I wait with great curiosity your impressions of Rome next year. Everyone knows that the first impression is deceptive, and even disturbing.

So far this year has brought me a lot of work ; it is only now that things calmed down. What a pity that your work does little to advance theoretical. We could very well be placed in the first volume of the new Jahrbuch³. It actually has two of my work : "On Narcissism ⁴ "And" Contribution to the history of the psychoanalytic movement⁵», should, I hope, clarify my relationship with Jung. The conference of Jelgersma ⁶, rector of Leiden, do you have certainly not escaped.

In my family, all is well. Here, my wife left for Hamburg, where we expect soon to be raised to a higher rank, translate to the rank of major- parents ⁷.

I am very pleased with the appointment of Häberlin⁸. If you have the opportunity to talk, give him my wel-quotes. I do not think it will become an active supporter of psychoanalysis.

Recently, a colleague of me Friedländer also confirmed that he had been demoted for cheating at the game of tarot, while he was a medical officer (voluntary). This will allow you to better understand my aversion to any form of contact with the pig.

I cordially greet you and your wife

Your Freud

Dear Professor,

First (as almost always), a series of thanks : this time thank you for kindly arranged this case the trip Easter, and etching I found excellent. The recorder does not seem to be a "modern", However, it blows in his work already look a little bolder. I am convinced that this man could do something for Moses. But it would be worthwhile to also test with my friend (Berény).

The deployment of our troops against Zurich in the notebook I of II^and year is really impressive. The controversy wonderfully incisive Eitingon against sabotage the concept of the unconscious was a surprise for me

I am very busy (full almost every day); can still obtain therapeutic success - by giving much trouble, it is true – with sufficient retention of both sides.

Evening, I am so tired no other work I succeeded. I do not disagree : psyche may well play a role. The state of my nose is more satisfying, sleep yet. Maybe after Brioni!

Cordial greetings to you and all household, of
