Budapest, December 19, 1910
VII., Erzsébet-körút 54
Dear Professor,
I didn't respond to your wish expressed in regard to thought induction because, in view of our earlier discussions, I thought we had decided to treat this matter with extreme caution. It goes without saying that I am in complete agreement with the date 1913; perhaps I will want to extend it even further.
In the meantime I have been collecting some material. It is interesting and valuable to know that we will be able—so it seems—to do without professional mediums. But I would need a few hints as to determining the limits of this possibility.
I, too, am doing well now and then. E.g., Frau G. is thinking about a trip we took together by car to a sanatorium for pulmonary diseases where I was discharging my duties as a court physician.
I associate:knee, blood, “blood and blood everywhere, the son murders the father, the brother the brother.”—“That was said (I continue) by Széchenyi about the Revolution of ′48; then he died, in the sanatorium at Döbling.”1
[It is worth mentioning that the patient whom I went to visit had died the day before of pulmonary bleeding—which we didn't learn until we were outside. Knee = a sexual reminiscence of the excursion.]2
