Dear Friends:
Budapest is missing this time, which was perhaps to be expected in the circumstances. We may congratulate Ferenczi that matters were not worse in his Fatherland, which they might easily have been had it not been for the good sense of the inhabitants.
The outstanding news this time from London is that I have just received a letter from Brill, very friendly and asking what work he can do for the Journal. He left two bags in France as a Symptombehandlung and intends to return in December and spend some time with me. I am of course sending him a cordial invitation to be my guest.
Then came a vaguely optimistic letter from Frink, saying that things were going all right at present, though he expected trouble in the future; he gives no details. The lady does not seem to be very wise if Brill's statement is true (it does not seem to be altogether a secret now) that she is telling everyone that Professor advised the divorce as a prophylactic against a nervous breakdown. Brill takes the matter as very serious and I fear he may be right.
A little while ago I was asked by our Foreign Office if I could guarantee a person called Krasso2 (?), a Hungarian lady who wanted permission to come to England from New York to study with me. Apparently she had given my name as a reference, but I could only reply that though the application might be a genuine one I had never heard of the lady. Now I hear from another American lady that she has since gone to Vienna and Budapest and I should be interested to hear if anyone has come across her. She has a millionaire uncle in America who will do anything for her.
