Dear Father Freud,
Today I just want to let you know that I shall have my passport in a few weeks' time and that I shall therefore be ringing your front-door bell in August. I hope that you are once again comfortably accommodated in the Hohe Warte or elsewhere and that you are in as good fettle as political developments permit. I unfortunately am politically involved even in my work and I always seem to be caught up in something. I am perturbed at the fact that in all the reconstruction going on here, basic principles are even more neglected than I at first realised, and I am distressed to see how little has been done to foster Jewish-Arab cooperation, the necessity for which should be obvious to any reasonable person. But subterranean or even preconscious and conscious power-dreams and ambitions have made it impossible to introduce what is indispensable: mutual concessions within the territory we occupy in common.
I have begun my analysis again: this time we are going deeply and laboriously into childhood history, and we are discovering surprising cave paintings and enigmatic inscriptions which we are slowly deciphering. But it is exhausting work and I am often depressed and I almost dread interrupting the analysis though I desperately need relaxation
