Budapest, [February 11, 1911]1
VI.,——2
Dear Professor,
First, I want to join Frau G. in thanking you from the bottom of my heart.—Then, I ask you to excuse the fact that I didn't answer your kind letter appropriately until later. Today I am busy with a lecture that I want to give tomorrow at the “Physicians' Association” about “Suggestion and Psychoanalysis.” Do you want to print this lecture (intended for a general audience) in the Zentralblatt? If so, then I will translate it.3 —
I wrote the enclosed little article for the Zentralblatt. Please return it next time; I want to send it, along with a number of other trivia, direct to Adler or Stekel.4 —
After the lecture I will write to tell you how it went. Probably no one will dare to stand up to us.
Kind regards,
Ferenczi
The letter has been dated on the basis of Ferenczi's reference to his lecture in the Physicians' Association, which he gave on February 12, 1911 (see the brief report about it in the Zentralblatt für Psychoanalyse 1 [1911]: 372).
The remainder of the preprinted letterhead, with the obviously no longer valid address “Ndrassy-ut 25. (Drechsler-Palotr),” has been crossed out.
Ferenczi, “Suggestion und Psychoanalyse” [Suggestion and Psychoanalysis] (1912, 94; F. C., p. 55; Unbewusstes, pp. 194-206), lecture at the Budapest Physicians' Association on February 12, 1911. The lecture was published in Hungarian in Gyógyászat, no. 51 (1911): 242-246, but not in the Zentralblatt, where only a brief note by , “Aus ungarischen Vereinen” [From Hungarian Societies], 1 (1910-11): 372, appeared.
