Vienna, January 14, 19101
Hearty congratulations on the publication of your first work on Ψ A in Hungarian2 and many thanks for the too modest dedication!
Don't you want to reveal to me what the strange word in the title (Lélekelemzés) means? It must be something very beautiful. Your naughtiness in not wanting to come this week has been very much derided in this house. On account of it, things will not go well for Binswanger (Abraham); he will really be taken to the cleaner's.—The organizational plans for the Congress are assuming more definite shape; more about that later. Critique from the British Medical Journal is by Havelock Ellis.3
Cordially,
Freud
Postcard.
See letter 85 and n. 16.
Havelock Ellis (1859-1939), versatile English scientist and, above all, sexual researcher; editor of Studies in the Psychology of Sex (Watford, 1897-1928). Freud is presumably referring to the anonymously published review of his Selected Papers on Hysteria and Other Psycho-Neuroses, Nervous and Mental Disease Monograph Series, no. 4 (New York, 1909), in the British Medical Journal, December 18, 1909, p. 1756.
