Dear Friends:
In these days it is hard to have any other than the one thought that our loved and revered Chief has to pass through a distressing experience in order to attain complete freedom from his trouble. He knows well that no man could have warmer wishes and sympathy than he has in such full measure.
Long meetings on the last three evenings make this letter a little late. I had, however, recently written to nearly all the members of the Committee. Of the difficult days we spent in S. Cristoforo I will here only point to the bright fact that no others than psychoanalysts could have succeeded in such circumstances to the extent we did, one more reason for being grateful to our science.
At the annual Meeting of the Society last night we advanced to full membership six associates: Mrs Sharpe, Mr and Mrs Strachey, Dr Torrance Thomson2, and Dr Wilson. We appointed a committee, consisting of Jas. Glover, Rickman and myself, to organise courses of lectures and supervise any lectures given by members.
The Press is passing through an acute crisis, but there are possibilities of a hopeful future. After Cape withdrew we accepted another similar offer by a young publisher called Cape. At the moment, however, our plans are rendered uncertain by the news that Professor has transferred the American sales to his nephew in New York.3
