Dear Professor Freud,

The first two batches of tests came¹, and we were delighted to read. When you are aware of all the allusions and references, It is also interesting that pleasant to have your delicate strokes thrusting. I'm sure the effect will be great, qu'il is affermir notre camp, give energy, and that he will "dismantle" the other side, comme dit Shaw.

You can imagine that I have no complaints at all, but since you have asked me to share with you all my observations come to mind, I draw your attention to some minor details.

The first is personal : S. 46 (Flags) you write "Alle drei (Brill, Ferenczi and myself) had a familiar in Zurich learned²». For my part, I am afraid decline this honor, the facts are as follows : I bought your book 1906, I practiced and ψα (imperfectly, certainly) one year before the Amsterdam Congress in September 1907 (3) where I met Jung and Otto Gross. That fall, I was in Munich, and I learned more Gross I've never heard of Jung. On the way back, in December, I spent 5- 6 day in Zurich, I saw Jung everyday, and so I was invited to the Salzburg Congress in April following. Jung is then introduced me to you, that you may have given the impression that I was his student. Since then I've only stayed two days in Zurich. I am an exception to your assertion minimum (S. 43) "In all other places (outside Vienna and Zurich) this donation was of interest initially nothing more than a passionate usually accented rejection⁴».

S. 45. The direction is reversed by the omission of the word "no" : "The ψα Freud is now advocated and practiced not only in Austria, etc.⁵»

S. 55. It. Jelliffe should be replaced by "White and Jelliffe". White is much stronger than Jelliffe and should not be ignored⁷.

S. 44. "Of that character trait of young… its tendency to ruthless insistence aside an inconvenient others⁸». Of course, this is absolutely true, and in principle I am of the opinion that we should not pity a war of such magnitude, but I can not find this less strong enough, personally, and I fear that, further to strengthen, it would weaken, a personal note, the overall effect of the es-sai. There was no interest in giving weapons to the enemy. Sachs asked me to add that it is quite of my opinion.

We expect the third batch with the keenest interest.

Faithfully to you

Jones.

Dear Jones,

I badly need a few hours of discussion with you. Writing a letter is a poor substitute. Be sure that I do not mean to sweeten my article Jabrbuch(1) there will be some amendments and additions (invisible in Fahnen that have been addressed), but not in the sense of mercy.

It may be that we surestimions Jung and his actions in the coming time. It is not in a favorable position to the public when he turns against me: i.e. his past. But my general opinion on the matter is very close to yours. I do not expect immediate success, but an uphill battle. Anyone who promises to liberate humanity from the tests will be sex hero's welcome, we leave talk - some nonsense that delivers.

Putnam tient nests, see his latest Journal of Abnormal Psychology on sexuality in interpreting dreams ⁽²⁾, and leaving aside the sophistry of excessive respect Adler.

But Stanley Hall declared allegiance to Adler and, for personal reasons, this accident I was more bitter than other. It can now invite Worcester lessons Indiv. Psychology. I can see(3) what they will do to his sermons (4).

MacCurdy spontaneously promised to act against Jelliffe he proposes to review its official organ instead of Magazine. Temperament, it seems to be real-ing U.S..

I could write for hours about Loe. This is a charming woman, but it is challenging. Not a matter of relent when she is happy, nor obey when it is at its worst. There is every reason to ask: when should it take "Lachs mit Mayonnaise (5) » ? Marriage is decided, but the date is not fixed, and it is not certain she can stay until July. She wants to finish with morphine before leaving, but it decreases very slowly.

Do not worry about the Napoleon Jekels. It is good, he found one of the springs of his character, but he did not see the other, yours. Better not to rush. Bacon was certainly a very extraordinary person ! Take advantage of your visitor and have good thoughts for your caring

Freud

P. -S. : Fisher Unwin wrote that the English edition of the’Everyday life released on 3 June ⁽⁶⁾. He asked for a list of individuals and periodicals, who to address book. PrEN I drained the liberty of telling him that you (J.) give him the necessary advice, and to send you a copy en revanche (7).

There are negotiations underway with F. Alcan (Paris) about the French translation ; they can easily lead to something.

Your fantasy amphimixis of partial drives is eagerly awaited. Read anything sensible long.

Still no desire to work.

A Ophuijsen, we could tell right away the real reason and, the next time, you can really do.

The first action of Abraham will be well received, you too. The 20/21 September⁴ suits me perfectly. After, I will be ex-posed in Leiden, perhaps 23, then from Hamburg. Was still quite uncertain.

Sincerely,

Dear Professor,

I did not really concerned about your health in my last letter; I thought that there was nothing serious. That's what happens when your own pain you lock in your narcissism. I hasten to add my voice very warm good wishes to your doctor. I hope I will learn soon that you find yourself in your work and complete satisfaction. An attendant-way, Perhaps you apply a little to your health epigraph which you speak! Car, actually, you do not seem justified to see things in black.

Regarding the issue of the presidency, I entirely agree with you. Except that I do not quite understand how my proposal for the honorary presidency feels "retired", because its intention is to make our meetings you lead an active. I do not need, of course, make sure my absolute preference would be to see President. This issue will certainly, in the narrow circle of our friends, its fairest solution.

This letter, dear Professor, requires no response. Do not give, Just at this time, of unnecessary trouble. I want to complete what I told you last time by telling you that I have a small test site : "Relations between the drive for food and sex drive ⁽¹⁾. "The Zeitschrift should still not be without my contribution.

I will tell you more about our plans for this summer, as soon as I know more myself! At the occasion, I want to know when your holiday; mid July or later? With cordial greetings and best wishes,

Votre Karl Abraham.

Dear Madam,

Now you also become dinguo( 20) and with the same symptoms as your predecessors ! I received one day, without suspecting anything, a letter from Madame Jung²¹ telling me that her husband was convinced that I wanted him. This was the beginning; the end, you know. And your argument that I would not have sent yet no patient ? This has manifested itself in exactly the same way in which Adler believed persecuted because I sent him no patient. Do not you recognize that this mechanism is known to grow abused a person in order to make then responsible (22) ? For at least six months, I have not had a single customer in Berlin, and also that I had not been able to send. I have great difficulty in taking care of my young people in Vienna. Half of analysts and all those who are not enjoying themselves to insult me, how you wonder why after all neurotics do not come to me to indicate to doctors. I do not know if Abraham could do much, but I am sure he will take into account your wishes if you do not you keep too much outside activities Association.

After the relationships we have had so far, what do you think I have against you ? Is there something else here that the expression of your bad conscience that he could not release you from your idol ? Think again and write me what you think.

I cordially greet you, Freud

Cher ami,

Thank you very much for your long letter. Meantime, I was sick again, and I have absolutely no respite, as if the torments and work wanted me to wear!

The last access my intestinal pain brought my "personal physician ⁽¹⁾ "To undertake, on the safe side, rectoscopique examination, after which he congratulated me warmly as if I concluded that he had taken for highly probable carcinoma.

So it is nothing to this time; I must continue my wade. We have not even decided this summer. One, Rank as proposed, you adopt 20 and 21 September (Sunday) for Congress, we can have our private meeting the 19, I can see my lecture at Leiden 23 about, and then I will go see my daughter and grand-son in Hamburg. A Hollande, my youngest daughter will make a leap to me from England; Well then I will more than Berlin interval between two trains.

Pending, I promise to record your visit after your excursion in the Dolomites. Maybe we'll all Dresden.

See you as president definitive, this is indeed what I want personally. I know all that we have to wait for your energy, your correction and your conscientiousness (pleasant contrast with your predecessor). Somewhere else, It is argued that the problem of relations with America and the importance to keep the group well all recent London, speak in favor of Jones. Under these conditions, I want you to leave all care to make a decision that will take place during our Pre-. It would be premature, in fact, to decide now. We can not know if the Swiss actually leave after the publication of the Jahrbuch, which should also affect the choice of the President. For my part, I would like to keep away, possibly, book me for some extreme. Your proposal honorary president either does not please me ; firstly, she has something that smells "retired", and second, the present time, overshadowed by crises, does not seem conducive to the honors are awarded. I do not want to miss, however, thank you cordially friendly idea. In calm weather and fertile, I would have gladly accepted. For the time being, the establishment of a chairman and a vice-president seems essential and the distribution of these two functions between you and Jones, alternating with short intervals (every two years), opportune. More, as I said, I am sure that the Committee will find a solution to this issue, without being disturbed by problems of personal ambition.

I feel truly mortified by my lack of enthusiasm and ability to work, and lasts from Easter. This week, I finally completed the proofreading of the first third of the "Contribution to Psychoanalytic Movement"; there was virtually nothing in this section to change. I did add an epigraph insert name and rank in a passage where praise was anonymous. I intend to change much in the third section.

All your works projects have my complete sympathy. I hope to have tomorrow, by Sachs, from you and Berlin.

Do not hurt, in this letter, the low level of morale and get my, you and yours, my cordial greetings.

Your Freud.

Dear Professor Freud,

You thought, j’imagine, Sachs that would give me all the news from Vienna, and it gave me much. And the case of the Vereinsleitung been adjusted for the time of the most satisfactory, but we must prepare for the possibility of further trouble soon. Jung is not killed, but just temporarily defeated. In July, the prend the words devant the British Medical Association¹. He exercised a powerful attraction in America and perhaps in England, where ψα is still a sapling. For all these reasons, I hope you do not amenderez of your Referat Yearbook (2) one iota, because the issue was not only the Vereinigung.

Sachs says that your health improves, Wolfgang Ernst and overcame his original weakness, two good news, but your youngest daughter struggled to get rid of his cold ; I hope that the sea air of England will remove the last traces, s'il in subtract³.

Attached letters received from Abraham. Business does not seem very bright in America, although I was delighted to see that the 13 items advertised in the program of the American Psychopathological Association, one and all por-Taient on a theme of ψα, 11 is positive and 2 only negative⁴. MacCurdy, on which I had high hopes, seems to have shown a dark side in the case of Herbert Jones (surely jealousy, because it is very gay), and this bodes ill for its activity ψα, where the character is at least as important as intellect. No new Putnam for two months, but I wrote recently - also requesting permission to publish his excellent article in the last Magazine (5).

Loe wrote a long letter this week, after three months of silence, but I'd love to know what effect you had on it the sad news of the death of his aunt, which was really a beautiful woman. This is yet another case of death due to causes, ultimately, psychic (Do you remember talking to me about this one night, at a late hour), as was that of Scott's Antarctic expedition⁶, I discovered that. Loe decision about his marriage did not surprise, because it was the only sensible decision, and I am delighted. However, I can not be very optimistic about its future, because it does not waiver cera-morphine, though I pray with all my heart it may have a few years of happiness. She continued treatment until the end of your working season ?

The history of the’Work of Jekels was fun, quoique un peu contrariante. It can encourage me to write my book on Napoleon for Fonts, Perhaps at the end of this year after the Congress will⁷. Do you think I should sacrifice other work it ?

I will pass this summer to write a small book on The treatment of neuroses Ferenczi and translate⁸. Then I signed the contract to produce next year (the end) a big book on ψα for a scientific audience, but not medical, and this will require an immense⁹. Besides these tasks, I have enough others to fill the free time of my evenings.

Sir Ed. Durning-Lawrence has died¹⁰. I dined with him there for about a month¹¹, and he assured me that Bacon wrote Shakespeare not only all, but all Spenser and Marlowe (he paid the same way to use their name), and he also supervised the translation of the Bible ! ! Peace to his ashes ! The passage, we found another set of contemporary references, where the name is written Shackspere¹², thus confirming what you told me about Jacques-Pierre^13.

Sachs wrote you about London, who enchants. His company is a great pleasure to me.

Affectionately to you

Jones.

Dear Professor,

Brioni since I feel physically well, which, home, does not keep pace with productivity (of thought). Hence the problem of enuresis, some ideas came to me on "amphimixis of partial drives" during the installation of the primacy of the genital area ⁽¹⁾. I resolved not to break the thing, this time, in oral narratives or correspondence, but to write and send you as free associations on this topic, without worrying about possibly make me ridiculous.

The unanimous conclusion of the presidential election surprised me. Y he treachery hidden behind this ⁽²⁾?

Dr.. Ophuijsen, I received the attached map ⁽³⁾, to which I replied in a spirit of appeasement, but not without noting that, according to the numbers of the Zeitschrift already published, he could realize that we are not afraid (when something requires) to go before unceremoniously ; that can give us confidence when we ensure that there was, this time, no reason to do.

The practice works well.

Greetings from your Ferenczi

(1) Par amphimixie, Ferenczi heard the "fusion of two or more eroticism into one unit higher", for example, "The fusion of eroticism, anal and urethral, in genital eroticism ". "Thalassa, essay on the theory of genitality " (1924, 268), Psychoanalysis, III, p. 258. In this work, Ferenczi developed ideas which concern since 1910 already (see 155 Iron).

(2) Ferenczi's surprise for the two presidents who were not part of the Committee : Maeder à Zurich Seif et à Munich. Maeder had agreed to become interim president Abraham "in terms very helpful", Seif "in a manner laconic", as Freud wrote to Abraham, the 7 In 1914 (Correspondance Freud Abraham, p. 148)

Cher Ami,

I did not write these days, because I would not know what to tell you. You remember my discomfort Brioni. Soon after, laryngitis expressed, which is mounted to the nose ; it is now almost healed. The 6 evening, perhaps favored by an excess of festivities, acute intestinal crisis is declared, decided that Dr.. Branch ¹ à I rectoscopier, then congratulate me! He confessed that I had not yet assumed that the neoformation, but only one of peracute inflammation Romanum ². And here I am back to life and I can write you again. I am also subjectively better now than before these diseases.

Meantime, the case of the presidency was, as you know, markedly trench. Abraham will soon tackle the task, to give us the number of Korrespondenzblatt. I had, also, correspondence with him about the date of the congress, which would be very inconvenient early September. Himself believes to see 20-21 September; we will meet one day before, Congress in private. Then I can make my presentation in Leiden ³ to 23, and then leave for Hamburg. Our projects are quite been suspended by my illness and the uncertainty of whether Zweig recommend a cure.

My best wishes on the occasion of your move. The tournament attracted many projected me; I will certainly encourage R.[ank] and S.[achs] to get there.

Brioni since I do not work at all. Yesterday I started correcting my "History of the movement". When you come here the next time, you can see a gallery as ψα in Worcester ⁴. Stanley Hall, after work today received, went to Adler.

I cordially greet you, you and Mrs. G.
