Dear Professor,

I presume that you are now back in Vienna. I am unfortunately not heard from you long enough; what can be happened to you all in the interval? Your son did they have from the reserve of the territorial army? What became Rank, Sachs, Ferenczi? The epistolary activity fell in sleep. I'm still in limbo; I am a reservist and volunteer physician. In the latter capacity, I probably employ-ment incessam. But I do not know anything more for the moment.

Here the first major successes have greatly boosted the morale. Day before yesterday, almost no news has reached us from the main theaters of the war. It is assumed that great things are just going to do. This is why our impatience is at its peak.

This week, to my own surprise, customers is further increased a little. Yet, currently, it is the holiday, and according to our projects, we should now be set in Tyrol! But these days, must already say goodbye to holiday, if you want to get a little more covered financial. J'ai 3 or 4 sessions per day. To a scientific, I still lack of peace. We saw a newspaper to another; only are we pleased to learn that a new aspire to have the following.

To hear from you soon (card or letter opened), and most cordial greetings from family to family,

Abraham your.

Cher Ami,

I try my luck with a card ^B. What do you ? Where did you go ? Since the 5 month we are all together in Vienna (1) except Martin who volunteered in Salzburg ² and Annerl is England, cut us. To work, I do not have any concentration. These are difficult times ; our interests have lost their value in the immediate.

Sincerely, your Freud

Dear Professor,

I hope Anna does well go home now, because I doubt that you do not believe in safety in England. But she struggled to make the best decision, and she was very brave throughout this crisis.

It will give you the new English, there is no need that I write. Personally, I believe my duty is to remain at my post, and continue to exert, rather than engage. This also has the advantage that I can financially support our friends in Vienna (Rank, etc.), that the war will perhaps necessary; I wanted to send money now, but it is impossible to obtain Austrian banknotes in London.

I'm terribly excited to hear from you and our friends, and hope that you will try to communicate via Bjerre, Van Emden, Pfister or Assagioli. I'll soon see Holland Van Emden and learn what he knows.

With any affection

your faithful and devoted Jones.

Dear Doctor

Very surprised by your new. But Prague is also very far now. We are in Vienna since the 5 this month, two son with us, who are registered as auxiliary. Martin, which lies to the tribunal in Salzburg, is likely to volunteer and hope it will be accepted despite the super-arbitration¹. My little girl is in England, we have established a telegraphic communication with her via Holland. D’Abraham, despite its promise, not a line.

Sincerely Your Freud

Dear Professor,

I found a few days in Prague, temporarily assigned to the local garrison hospital, modestly to participate in things that will still happen. If these lines reach you soon, let me know please if you have and still all yours around you – including the youngest came to London¹. I left my wife with my parents in Leipzig. –

Abraham, you certainly new, will probably stay in Berlin. –

To you and yours I send my best wishes and I greet you cordially and faithfully

Dear Professor,

We arrived here Saturday after an exhausting journey. What do you, you and yours? I'll probably make a provisional replacement medical. Should not consider an appointment, unless you come here. Sincerely.

Dear Professor Freud,

I wonder if you received my letter a week ago ? This is for everyone a time of concern that communication difficulties make it doubly difficult. I will send this letter in triplicate, in the hope that at least you reach. I have not seen your daughter since my last letter, but I heard from her and her friend. It sounds great and serene, and said nothing of returning to Austria, but that was before the worst news of the war General. If necessary it fits, I could certainly extend to the Austrian border, because there are several ways to go about, and it will be possible throughout the war; but I do not know if train travel is authorized in Austria, or how long the traffic will be suspended for the needs of the army, Thirty or example from Zurich, I await your instructions on this point, as on other, but in the meantime please be assured that your daughter is in good hands and she has many friends in England. She is in excellent health ⁽¹⁾.

A letter from Ferenczi tells me he must join the Hussars, but qual-ity of physician. A postcard Rank said nothing of the war. You can imagine how much I look forward to hearing from you, and what happens. Your son have to go under the flags, and how many of our friends are in Vienna- they forced ?

There was little enthusiasm in England. We prejudices against Germany and we do not love Russia, but the fear of the last touches us more closely than the first ⁽²⁾, who wait many years to. Austria is very popular for putting everyone in trouble, but his attitude toward risk slave is fairly well understood. No doubt here, however, Germany and Austria do crush; too much play against them. The whole thing is quite Greek, an irresistible fate precipitating nations into wars that no one is looking, and that can only lead to a general catastrophe. Personally, I am especially upset that America has to benefit both the loss of Europe.

Loe was able to recover Trottie and get him out of fraud, but not without difficulties and hardships untold. She says it is by far the worst experience she ever made in her life. It also goes well we can expect, and has a comfortable home (that her aunt). Trottie almost died, but slowly recovering. Loe buys large quantities of morphine to ship to foreign armies, because when the supply of morphine to be dried, we do not deliver to those who are likely to recover, while desperate cases will die in pain. Is not she wonderful ?

Unfortunately, Jung's lecture in London was a success, McDougall and was so impressed that he will be analyzed by him. I have not heard his communication, but I read, because it was given to me as editor of Journal of Abnormal Psychology. It is a jumble of confused thoughts, diluted with platitudes ; ioint following sample page. The only progress is that a new word, "Horme", for Libido, and "prospective psychology" for Ps-A. as he conceives ⁽³⁾.

A great calm reigns in London, it would be impossible to distinguish from other eras, was the press. Grey announced yesterday that we would intervene if Germany violated the neutrality of Belgium or the German fleet attack undefended coasts of France ⁽⁴⁾. We are very reluctant here to the idea of ​​being dragged into a war whose stakes are so far, but our protective attitude towards France is an important factor that can play.

I fervently hope to receive some news from you soon, and they are as good as possible. No doubt you will stay for some time in Carlsbad, even if you the opportunity to return to Vienna.

your always thoughtful

Ernest Jones.

2. "Last" and "first" are surrounded with pen and attached by a line, arrows indicating the need to transpose the two words.

3. This is to avoid any misunderstanding that Jung began to use the word hormé, derived from the Greek, in its English texts ; publications in German, preserves the Libido; see Jung (1915). He also uses the expression "understanding prospective", he opposes what he calls the "retrospective understanding" of Freud (p. 181). [N.d.T. ; understanding of the concept of Jung, cf. C. G. Young, Correspondence, 1906-1940, trad. J. Rigal et F. Périgaut, Paris, Albin Michel, 1992, p. 65-67.]

Dear Professor,

Waiting to join the Austrian army, I must send you my most cordial greetings in this grave hour. All wishes, your, your loved ones, all of us –

Carlsbad, 2.8.14.

Cher ami,

Your letter of today (that of 31.7) is overwhelmed, That is why I am writing again to Berlin. Thank you for your promise to give me plenty of your new, and I will endeavor to do so. We will stay here so probably another week ; go to Vienna during mobilization is not possible; about to go to Munich, it does not matter. Our son Ernst¹, the remainder, in Salzburg with his brother Martin ², and he probably will not return for the first time.

We may rid our mind all the problems of Congress, etc. The general attention is otherwise. When I write, we can consider that the great war is a thing acquired; I'd heart with fighters, if I did not know that England is on the wrong side.

I would like to develop a good subject that began to torment me, but I'm still too tight, too distracted, I must wait for something definitive, well done. For the time being, I'm embarrassed to try again in the beautiful Carlsbad, with my nice wife, all the refinements of cure, while the world is similarly shaken. In Vienna it is cooked over white bread; thing can- be more worrying : savings banks and banks do not refund deposits beyond 200 crowns. We can see how much you can spend money in daily life.

We can fall, we do not go out of the world [Fall out of the world we can not] ³ : this is the ultimate insurance.

I hope you arrived safely with yours and your military obligations do not stray too far from home. Receive, from a distance, my cordial handshake.

Your faithful

Freud.
