Dear Professor,
Thank you for both communications. Jung also informed me of the postponement of his travel plans; I hope that he does come to Vienna in the not too distant future and that I will have occasion to visit you. I was very much looking forward to the planned trip to Vienna. I wanted to present you and Jung with a work which I finished in the meantime on “Suggestion and Hypnosis in Light of Psychoanalysis.”1
This work has prevented me up to now from concerning myself seriously with the trip to America. Now I intend to read up with more enthusiasm on Dr. E. Deckert's North America (from the General Regional Studies of Prof. Sievers)2 as well my English Baedeker.—
I am very comfortable with the fact that we are traveling by way of Patras-Palermo and that your brother will also come along.
The Jahrbuch is impressive. I find the most valuable thing (apart from the magnificent analysis of “clever Hans”) to be Jung's total conversion to your views. Now he writes only about the “vicissitudes of the libido.” Binswanger's3 case is very nicely presented, and his uncle's testimonial is also of value. Abraham, as always, writes cleverly and convincingly. I haven't read Maeder's4 article yet. It seems to be a meritorious, industrious piece of work.5
With cordial greetings to you and your dear family and in hopes of seeing you soon,
Your most obedient
Dr. Ferenczi
