Berggasse 19,

Dear Dr Pfister,
A letter came from you to-day with your last letter still unanswered. I realise that I was put out by your unsatisfactory news. That makes me all the more pleased at your good news in the scientific field, and in particular the fact that your book is so far advanced. I shall be delighted to write you an introduction on the lines you ask.
In regard to your production analysis, I should like to suggest that you leave it with Imago and make a concession to the publisher, for whom things are not easy, by reducing your demands for illustrations. I already have two papers (by Maeder and Hug1), and my original publisher Deuticke is getting restive. The 1913 Year Book is, as you know, always open to you.
We have finished with Bergmann.2 Jung settled that very well. In January we shall have our journal again in a new guise, and I hope we shall find it satisfactory.
Naturally I am very pleased at your opposition to Jung's innovations, but do not expect me to write anything against him. My disagreement is too obvious to make any impression. But I think he will receive a great deal of criticism from most of the leading analysts. So you will not be isolated in this purely internal and objective battle. I wonder what sort of technique he uses to arrive at such views.
All are well here, but the possibility of war keeps us on tenterhooks.
With my cordial greetings,
Yours,
Freud
