Cher Ami,

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

Budapest, the 6 March 1914

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 IIand 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

Cher Ami,

We accepted Brioni, I suggest you leave on Thursday evening (Maundy Thursday) that we will arrive on Friday afternoon.

Heller says have sent you my portrait etching. I am very curious to know what you think. The family is very unhappy, others are highly praised.

Narcissism progresses, will be completed in March. I will submit, so you can also tell me in which passages I refer to your sense of reality (1).

I believe that we left the conference Jelgersma not in the [Centrally]leaf, but as a Supplement.

My wife hand Saturday to Hamburg, time, I hope (2).

I cordially greet you, waiting for your new.

Cher ami,

I think a lot about you, because I wrote something on narcissism. "Contributions to the Psychoanalytic Movement" are in Ferenczi week, you probably have them already. I ask you to send me your comments and criticisms to share control in triplicate Deuticke closets, so I can get the view of Rank, Sachs and Jones.

We are now firmly, time to catch the strike we lost. I hope that both numbers will be completed in the first week of March.

I will be very grateful if you can do something to Reik. We must not abandon our own. Maybe he could be you some help in your work.

We started, in our association, general research and a discussion of the Oedipus complex in children. The first session went very well. Is it possible that your group to take part in the work or works to the publication (third issue discussions)?

Home, all is well; I hope it is the same with you and I cordially greet.

Your faithful

Freud.

25-02-1914 Freud to Jones

25 February 1914

Vienna, IX. Berggasse 19

Dear Jones,

Attached is the famous letter Jelgersma. I beg you to forward it to Abraham.

Also another letter from Putnam. Perhaps you have tooth too hard on him. He was sixty years, natural and the door to doubt, which does not prevent show courage. The key seems to be that the authority of Jung is well underway in his eyes. Still, it seems a little silly to pretend that Guideline [guideline] Adler is nothing other than our "fantasy" and to continue to advocate. I understand that you lose patience,.

I myself have not received the trials of Magazine. Already Image is slowing. I do not excepting [accept] your generous offer to let me insert in your criticism that seems good. It is up to you to take responsibility ; well worth a few days late.

I will be brief because I am still in preparation. Must end with narcissism.

Nothing new side Loe, it has not yet been examined. Yesterday she presented a beautiful specimen of a person Verschreiben you need to know. The address indicated "Frau Professor. Loe K. J. (1)». As it was impossible to change the name, there was no other way to deny the change and loss.

I'll try to squeeze Heller and printer.

Sincerely you

Freud


1. It seems that Jones has written Loe by giving him Frau professor Loe Kann Jones.

Cher Ami,

Thank you for your notes, all, will be the subject of reflection, and those coming. Maybe we still have the opportunity to discuss orally before printing. Now the script will probably soon leave for Berlin, and be the first to be made for the Jahrbuch.

I fully confirm your judgment on critical Ophuijsen. You have a good rationalization to explain the reference, if you tell him that you want to provide the translation yourself. But who will do the translation? Heller has already agreed to a German edition. Do not you want to get along with H.[or] J. for[Elgersma] did not feel an inconsistent approach?

Annerl is better, she has no fever and is very pleased to be able to travel with us. But I propose, before writing to the rooms, further thought to whether we would be better to go to Brioni, that would be new to us. Is, we should announce in good time.

I'm right in Narcissism, where the loan that I have done1 will be highlighted. Obviously, it is very hard, but it must be completed by Easter. Moses the evening ended without real result. I wanted to hear from the artist's real objections, but I have not been able to bring the. However, it will probably still.

Thank strongly in my name the first reader of the historical contribution, for his interest and approval. How will she?

Sincerely

your Freud

P.-S. Enclosed, critical letter A of Ophuijsen and a letter from me to you.

A. Reading uncertain ; can be read as : letter and critical.
