Vienna, 14. XI. 14

Dear Madam,

What do you do in these trying times for all ? You were you expected and you were you and represented ? Do you still believe in the goodness of all these big brothers ? I expect from you a word of consolation.

Yours Freud.

Dear Professor,

I remember back to your memories and would like to ask how you are, you and yours, and what new you have received from your eldest son. Have you been long in Germany, Professor? So far we have been busy days, sometimes serving as a hospital for wounded, sometimes a hospital for victims of epidemics. At the moment we do except typhus few infectious diseases. The past months have destroyed my hope of returning home by the end of this year. Theaters of operations continue to expand. Many of our analysts have been recruited, Professor?

I have one small request to make : kindly send me another reprint of "History of the Psychoanalytic Movement" if you left a copy.

With my warmest greetings to yourself and your family

Yours M. Eitingon

Potato ^A, the 10 November 1914 Address : Barracks of the Hussars

Dear Professor,

Firstly I would like to share a strange twist of fate. I forgot to mention in the analysis - as I have had time - a very unpleasant nasal symptoms, who had also disappeared for about a year ; it is, for me, the subjective sensation of a constant smell of ammonia. My Ent said this would come from the excitement of the ethmoidal cells or the olfactory nerve. But I think now it is, for the olfactory nerve, a sign of excitement similar to what happens with me also in the areas of auditory and optic nerves (as a result of poor circulation?). This symptom has now reappeared, but at the same time also emerged in me the following idea : tone too specific smell would it still not of psychogenic origin, that is to say, from my childhood urinary. Otherwise, we should consider this as a fortuitous coincidence especially remarkable.

Physically, I did not feel better here than in Vienna, but my mood was almost good : apathy and indifference predominated. For the first time today, the absurdity of existence and Pápa in the military I was a little depressed. I was also physically less well than usual : deafness into the afternoon, ammonia in the nose at night, bad dreams at night.

Here, the castle, in Count, I am housed.

It will interest you to know (I learned by Earl B., chamberlain of an archduke, which has been incorporated herein as captain), that in September, Garibaldi ¹ raided in Tyrol, three thousand Italians and French. The Austrian army was prepared for - the whole lot was captured and sent to Rome by train, after a few dispatches court-yards.

It is strange that such a thing could be kept secret ! It was strictly forbidden to take Austrian soldiers, to escape the casus belli.

More, he said that we would receive 30 % war damage and possible, moreover, colonial powers of (in case of victory).

For my part, I am not attracted by the theater, but I would be transferred to Budapest ; my chances are minor.

I stopped self-analysis at the same time you said it was unlikely that I can continue. Your opinion has been for me - an order !

I just received the first pages of the Theory of Sexuality ! Thank you very much !

Greetings to family and colleagues,

Cher Ami,

I write to you today, 1) you acknowledge receipt of your letter of 3 and card that arrived today, 2) because I sent you, at the hotel, foil trials of sexual theory, 3) because I have a lot of time - more than a patient - 4) because I find, according to your actions, that you did not yet recovered and I am very unhappy.

New, little. L'Italien of Nocera (Bianchini) sent me, already today, the translation of the first Five Lessons, for which I wrote a preface¹. The clinical history², strong 116 pages, ended. Rank has carried today to read. She was thrown into serious doubt, which could not be completely resolved rationally, and I assume that the latent doubt, lurking in the shadows, as to whether we will overcome, There has added his two cents *. But there is something on which I would like your opinion. It is true that there are still six months to printing. The editor of the manual Kraus me today that it will not need before the end of 15-early 16 mon manuscrit, which was scheduled for April 1915. Each day, something crumbles. I do not know now what to fill my day with.

Martin was incorporated on Sunday Steyr ³, Seriously. was sick with the flu and needs to be in bad shape. Oli is constantly work ⁴, and seems to have been successful. Annerl is, as always, active and enjoyable. De Pfister, a letter beast and disciplined ; otherwise, when the cannons roar, the voice of psychoanalysis is not heard in the world.

If our friends have not done something quite decisive by Christmas, they will deal with Japanese, that will surely leave England to come to France, and then hope for a successful outcome will be buried ⁵.

I cordially greet you and await your news,

your Freud

A HERMANN STRUCK

Vienna IX, Berggasse 19, the 7 November 1914.

Honored Mr.,

I noted with admiration that you take your work seriously to my portrait. Probably is this your usual way of working.

I look forward to the great comments that you promised to Moses. As I have not yet received, I do not want to wait for more tests and refer you to write this letter. I hasten to tell you, even before having read your comments, I am fully aware of the fundamental flaw of my work : have wanted to consider the artist a rational, as if it were a researcher or technician, while we are dealing with a being of a particular species, to a superior, autocrat, impious and sometimes quite elusive.

A little book I wrote about Leonardo da Vinci (1) will probably not your taste. It assumes that the reader should not be shocked by homosexual issues and the tortuous paths of psychoanalysis are familiar to. The book is also fictionalized as half. I do not want you to judge by the example of the accuracy of our other discoveries. I send you at the same time as a small band thing( 2) Regarding the rest to another art.

Here are the critical observations that you have requested (I've amalgamated those of my wife and others). They were made possible by your remark according to which we can be assured of our incompetence. Otherwise, I would not dare to make any sort of criticism. I myself am, doubtless, most of all incom-petent. One, nevertheless, you really want to know my opinion, I hope you will accept with good grace the following few thoughts. Your etching etching seems to be a charming idealization. This is the portrait I would like and I may be in the process of doing but, in any case, I stopped on the way. Everything in me is ruffled "and angular, you have wavy and rounded. In my opinion, there is an accessory that night likeness : how you treated my hair. You set the line on one side, whereas according to the testimony of lithography, I wear the other. More, the hairline is home to the temple rather concave shape. Rounding it you have a lot embellished appearance…

It is likely that this correction was intentional. I therefore consider this as very flattering engraving. I like it more every time I look.

My relationship with lithography are less pleasant. I totally agree the Jewish element in the head, but there is something else I do not recognize. I think this is due to excessive opening of the mouth, the beard pointed forward and whose outer contours are charged too. Trying to find out where these traits could come I was reminded of this lovely orchid and evil, the Orchibestia Karlsbadiensis we shared. This would give a composite figure (to speak as in The Interpretation of Dreams) : Jewish and orchid!

Here I am at the end of my remarks, and I recommend all your kindness again. When you send me the completed tests, I will be very grateful, but my gratitude will temporarily platonic.

Maybe we could put to use everything else our meeting in Carlsbad, if we could suspect it would end so abruptly and that the review would if improbable.

My wife asked me to send you his best memory, which I join mine

Your very devoted Freud.

Bp (!) Potato, the 3 November 1914 ^A

Dear Professor,

This time, only a few lines, one HATE, foremost to thank you for your kind letter - and to ask you to kindly send me all, from now, à la barracks (Barracks 7^and Honved Hussars, Potato).

I spent Sunday in Budapest ; Ignotus accompanied me to Dad, and he remained here a day. He wants to try to get my transfer to Budapest. I had housing problems (I almost wrote "dirt" (Housing) *), That is why I am not come to work. Perhaps I shall succeed from now !

The possibility of your coming has welcomed me. On the second day after my arrival here, the name "Freud" is suddenly appeared on the list of foreigners at the Hotel "Griff". I ran to the bedroom # 10 - I immediately recognized your small towel, and I went to your search. The porter then made me understand my mistake.

Sincerely your Ferenczi
