Baden Baden, June 13, 1925
Dear Professor,
Do not get frightened about the content of this letter, it does not demand to be read. But you have a right to know what I am doing. The meetings100 which are mentioned in the enclosed seem to go well. There are almost only laymen here, only occasionally a doctor turns up. The discussion is about God and the world, and people are learning gradually to express themselves freely.
I saw Keyserling recently and he told me about you. He was deeply impressed by you. And what he said about you made me happy. I have reason to think that he doesn't wish me any harm.
Will you come to Homburg? I have put myself down for a talk101 and hope that I shall be more successful this time in putting over my ideas. Yet for me everything depends on the moment and very much on the audience.
I wish you all the best, more than you believe possible. My wife sends her best regards.
Ever your loyal disciple Groddeck
Saturday evening meetings at the Groddeck clinic with discussions on psychoanalysis and other subjects.
Groddeck read a paper to the Hamburg congress (September 1925) on ‘The It and Psychoanalysis’ (‘Das Es und die Psychoanalyse’). Die Arche, I 10 (20.9.1925) Reprinted in Psychoanalytische Schriften zur Psychosomatik.
