Dear Dr Pfister,
Thank you for your account of the congress and your good wishes for my birthday.
As usual, of course, you are hard at your labours, the fruits of which always give me pleasure. I think that the publishing house will gladly accept and publish the posthumous works of Rorschach. That will of course depend on their length and content. I should like to postpone a decision in the matter, because Rank is in New York, and I do not wish to decide in his absence. However, you do not seem to have finished editing them yet.
It amused me greatly that you objected both to the organic foundations and the metapsychological superstructure. In reality, of course, one has to work at all levels at the same time.
You certainly have my permission to use any picture you like of me. If you do not like any of those that you have available, I shall send you the publishing house's latest full-face photograph. Whether a picture will show the ‘good man' you insist on introducing to the public is of course something I cannot say.
With cordial greetings,
Yours,
Freud
