Brief von Ernest Jones, 11. März 1921, London1

Dear Friends:

Can we not attain unity about our numbering? Jan. 1. 11. 21., Feb. 1. 11. 21. March 1 make 7, so that March 11 is 8.

Eder has just returned from a visit to Moscow. He says there is a great opportunity for Ps-A because the younger men are proving very open-minded

and desirous of taking up all new methods in science and medicine. The Bolsheviks are buying enormous numbers of scientific books from Germany, of all kinds, and enco
