Dear Professor,
I congratulate you from the bottom of my heart on the new founding, and I am just now in the process of putting together a paper for the new journal (what is it called?). Since Stekel's departure one feels as though one has been freed from a nightmare. I am convinced that we will do it better; one also has much more desire to write if one doesn't have to deal with such an impossible person for an editor as this Stekel is (as talented as he is in some things notwithstanding).
I am also well physically, so I can handle much more work. This year is beginning badly; I have only two to three analyses a day—and one of those is almost at an end—, new ones won't come. But I don't mind; I want to dedicate my free time (which I have filled up to now with illnesses) to science.
Elma was pleased about the friendly reception in the Berggasse. How did you find her? I hope that when she comes home she will no longer play the role of the “outcast.” Of course, the best thing would be to get her married; but she is being difficult.—
Everything is well with you, I hope. Has Oli decided to go to Berlin? I hear from my friend Dr. Alcsuti1 that Ernst is in Vienna; so, he didn't go to Munich to study.—
Kind regards,
Ferenczi
Alcsuti was the Magyarized name of Gizella Pálos's brother (b. Altschul).
