Dear Professor,
This is not supposed to be a reply to your kind letter of today, only a notification that I will reply to you tomorrow.
I am sending you extracts from the Wiener klinische Rundschau1 and a few “self-observations,” which I request that you preserve.
Kind regards,
Ferenczi

A few recent observations
(on the theme of thought transference)
It has already frequently occurred to me that a patient, a homosexual with strong resistances and equally strong ucs. transference to me, sometimes includes things in his associations that occupy me with particular intensity. But I remained for a long time with this uncertain impression (which I also, incidentally, once communicated to Prof. Freud). Lately (in the face of resistance and transference which was becoming more and more intense) these correspondences were accumulating, so I decided to pursue the matter and note down precisely the individual occurrences.
