IX., Berggasse 19
Dear friend,
I really hope that nothing will stand in the way of your visit. If you still bring your depression along, then you won't take it home again. I myself am well and cheerful and have many things to talk about with you. It was quite right for you not to come last week. The Binswangers didn't leave until yesterday. We wouldn't have been able to say a word to each other.
The ladies have asked me to thank you kindly for your invitation, but they are unable to accept it because the children are going out, etc. So we make two suggestions to you. Either give instruction by telegram for a theater ticket (Oli) or come with me to the lecture from seven to nine and then just eat with the rest of the family at our table. The lecture will certainly offer little. Federn1 will talk about the Bleulerian mechanisms;2 you see, it is a kind of seminar, but at least you will breathe Ψ α air there. I would rather go with you to Hamlet myself, but I have to be there and afterwards also commit the tarok excess. So choose freely, and in any event let us see you Saturday afternoon.
Yours,
Freud
