Dear Dr Pfister,
Your cordial New Year's letter celebrating the fifteen-year jubilee of our friendship gave me great pleasure. You have the gift of throwing a rosy sheen over the everyday life one takes part in so colourlessly. I also thank you for saying so little about my illness, which during the past few months has been taking up much too much space in our lives.
You ask whether I can take Herr P. for analysis during the summer. It is hard for me to undertake any commitments for the summer, because I am not yet quite certain about the future. But, if I can, I shall certainly do so, provided that he comes of his own accord. Also do not forget that I do not work during the real summer months.
We had the impression here that your society had rather gone to sleep, as we heard that no meeting had been held for months, so I am glad to hear that you have woken up. Things are lively here too; let me refer you to the latest productions of our publishing house.
With hearty best wishes for 1924,
Yours,
Freud
