Dear Professor,
Thanks for taking care of the letter from the Psychical Society and for the report on the resignation of the Adlerians.1 I admire your rigor and intransigence, which I approve of completely but out of weakness would not have been able to exercise with such consistency had I been in your shoes. Aside from the usual (constitutional) factors, I think you owe this ability to the daily purifying bath (I mean daily analysis) which protects your soul from the accretion of inhibiting influences.
The work of analysis is going smoothly; I sent away the impotent millionaire, and in his stead, as well as that of other unpleasant clients, I have obtained better ones.
I am less diligent in scientific work. I am reading quite a bit about “occult” things. Among analytic writings I am exceptionally pleased with Rank's Lohengrin.2
The other news is rather sad. My brother, inasmuch as his second operation was also not radical, is now inoperable and is nearing his end.
