Vienna, December 3, 1909
IX., Berggasse 19
Dear friend,
Here is the outline of a foreword. I couldn't wait until my writer's cramp, which is supported by all resistances against my activity, has run its course.
Now, give me your opinion of it and tell me whether you want to have a translation made of this or of a modified text.
The Jahrbuch1 was waiting for me in Vienna; it came out very splendid. Later volumes will, I hope, not be so conspicuously dominated by my name. I am keeping your paper2 for myself for Sunday, after I send off the Worcester lectures.
The copy of Everyday Life for Frau Gisela, which we talked about, has, I hope, already gotten from you to her.
The lecture on Leonardo on the evening of the day which we began together3 was not very satisfactory to me. Stein was there. I didn't get to hear any good response; even unusually uninspired and off-the-mark stuff from Adler.
I am now enjoying a bit of leisure, since I am working two hours less. Dirsztay's [a patient] parents were with me and proved themselves quite friendly to the treatment. I am quite eager to see how it turns out with Dr. Pollak.4
Putnam has informed us about the photographs from the Adirondacks in a very kind letter.
Cordial greetings to you and Frau G.
