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.

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.

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.

Dear Professor,

I will answer immediately. Here, we are not cur-rent anything. It is possible that we leave today or tomorrow. Because there are many signs that suggest the mobilization tomorrow or Sunday. En cas de guerre, it is possible that we stay here. We can do little other travel plans. So we wait probably Berlin. En cas de guerre, also, I can not get away from, since I am assigned to health service ⁽¹⁾. Without this, I did, me either, no obligation.

Our station is already half depopulated, enabled officers and soldiers on leave have been recalled. In case you séjourneriez Munich would not be impossible to meet; but who knows?

It is expected still no power trigger war, but the situation did not look less serious. Newspapers are allowed to publish only half of what they know.

All I can promise you today is to give you my new regular. Your letter bearing the stamp of 3o is still very fast arrival. I entrust this letter best wishes that I make for all of us.

I look forward to your new work with as much impatience as possible at the moment!

Well with my cordial greetings.

Budapest, the 31 July 1914 (afternoon)

Dear Professor,

As the post probably will not work tomorrow (the announcement of general mobilization came here at the moment |1]), I hasten to give you a brief news.

If the above information is confirmed, I will join, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, the 7^and regiment of the Territorial Army - Honved Hussars – as a medical reserve.

The holiday trip is abandoned. (Even if I do not join the regiment, I will stay here as a hospital physician.)

It will be difficult to manage by the business of writing, due to the disruption of rail traffic and postal. I think Rank will soon be returned home ⁽²⁾. For the time being, I have no contact with him.

Here, emotion is at its peak (the news of the Russian intervention).

Madame G. returned from his summer residence - like everyone else also.

The Platonic idea as substrate transfer is tasty ⁽³⁾. It seems that Jung has also been proposed as the word Imago quite disembodied.

Cordial greetings to all, Carlsbad et à à Seis ⁽⁴⁾,

Ferenczi your

1. The 28 July, Austria-Hungary declares war on Serbia. The 29 July, is the partial mobilization in Russia, protecting country of Serbia. General mobilization in Austria-Hungary, condoned by the staff and signed by the German Emperor, Vienna is announced on the morning of 31 July.

2. Rank went on vacation in Tyrol, the 29 July ; He then spent a fortnight in Semmering, to return to Vienna 15 August (Letter from Freud to Rank 12 August 1914, unpublished correspondence, archives J. Dupont).

3. The 27 July 1914, Jones wrote to Freud : "I had, last week, a long conversation with Mrs.. Eder, who just a month of analysis with Jung […] You may be interested to know the last date for method transfer process. The patient overcome the learning that is not really in love with the analyst, but it is currently, first, struggling to understand a Universal Idea (with capital letters) the Platonic sense : whereafter, what appears to be the transfer may well stay ". Freud has copied this passage for Abraham (Freud/Abraham, Correspondence, on. cit., letter 29 VII 1914, p. 191-192) and also expressed Ferenczi, it seems.

4. Place in South Tyrol where Freud had intended to go after his stay in Karlsbad.

Carlsbad, 29.7.14.

Cher ami,

Where are you and what do you do? Is this how you imagined the rest re bene gesta? Could you by chance

I say yes, in a fortnight, the excitement of these days will be a distant memory a little ashamed, or the fate that threatens us for decades is about to decide? Do you know if we can meet this year for a conference close?

Nobody knows, and the influx of new uncertain, the ebb and flow of hope and fear can only disturb the mental balance of each of us.

We are here, solitary, busy wait for letters to arrive late and leave write letters irregularly; we hope to leave, Carlsbad le Lundi 3, since we can still win free Germany; and Munich, we will ultimately land, after several forced outages, à Seis ⁽¹⁾. We are extremely pleased that none of our son and step-son is directly affected by the war, but actually, we also have a little shame at the sight of the victims that accumulate around us. The weather is terribly wrong, as if it was the projection of the current state of minds. Eitingon wanted to visit me, but the tumult of the war has prevented; tasks put our depe- 24 hours to deliver, I also asked to abandon his project. En effet, the big fight stifle interest in the little that we have successful completion.

I'm happy to have finished, in the last days of calm, two technical articles⁽²⁾, one on transference love and the other entitled : "Remembering, repetition and working through. "I think my way of presenting things turned; from the reckoning, I became more sincere, bolder and more direct. Currently, I still can not get used to the idea of ​​starting a new job.

First, scene change.

Here's what Jones writes today in express terms - I transcribe it for fun : « I had a long talk with Mrs E. last week, who has just had a month’s analysis with Jung… You may be interested to hear the latest method of dealing with Übertragung. The patient overcomes it by learning that she is not really in love with the analyst but that she is for the first time struggling to comprehend a Universal Idea (with capitals) in Plato's sense: after she has done this, then what seems to be the Übertragung may remain. »⁽³⁾Risum teneatis, Casimiri! I look forward to hearing from you. Your faithful

Freud.

Dear Professor,

Your letter of 26 I received here the day after my arrival. The thanks that you send me are indebted to you that I pay by promising to do everything for Congress and we compensate you compensate all wrongs in Munich. Who can doubt certainly not the small circle of "Five"⁽¹⁾ will make every effort and give the best of himself, not only for the Congress, but also in the future. - Your presentation will appear in the right place as possible. I think we have a very extensive program.

Here also, not everyone is concerned by war. I believe that no power will trigger a general war. But everywhere is great concern, although opinion is very favorable to Austria. What will happen to our projects? It is temporarily impossible to say. Rank wrote me yesterday to me strongly discouraged the Dolomites. It would be unfortunate if the appointment does not take place. At worst, could transfer in Switzerland. - The conference also made a bit of a problem. It is hoped that the matter will be decided quickly in the coming days.

Our Jahrbuch happened to me yesterday by the good care Deuticke. I am very pleased that, despite all the difficulties, we could come to end in six months. I will start preparations for the next when I am in Berlin. En effet, he must appear at any price in the spring 1915.

Receive, you and your wife, my cordial greetings and those of my wife.

Abraham your.

Dear Doctor

I have just received your letter express. Your telegram announced, not yet. Many things have changed since I sent you the telegram : but you are always welcome ! I did not know at the time that a telegram should be sent urgently if^b must travel as fast as a train. Since we understand the seriousness of the situation¹. Declaration of War, manifest, closure of rail traffic for days of mobilization, this seems to be a different situation than you imagined only yesterday. It seems impossible that you arrive by Friday, and the date on which you can leave in any case seems uncertain. Under these conditions I ask you to give this tour. I can not admit that you expose yourself to such discomforts and uncertainties such, and I want to thank you very much for your intention for its implementation.

Incidentally the weather is so terrible here – girls in the house say : since the men are away – it becomes difficult to perform the movement necessary to cure.

We hope to come to Munich after blocking traffic, outside the 3 August. My three son, fortunately (but so undeserved), one has not yet fulfilled his military obligations, lui il reste encore un tiers in, it has recently been postponed for the second time². Shadow hover also present on our conference, but nothing can predict two months away. Perhaps most things be returned in order to then.

The key is that we got rid of Z[urich], Abraham worked brilliantly³.

Receive my cordial greetings, on my part and that of my wife⁴ and greet your dear wife, that the fact that you give up your journey certainly not displease.

Your Freud
