Letter from Sándor Ferenczi to Sigmund Freud, March 9, 1913

Budapest, March 9, 1913

Dear Professor,

I, too, want to take leave of you—in a few lines. I wish for you that I recover quite soundly in Corfu, so that you will have a more reliable worker in me than I was capable of being during the last year. Naturally, I also wish you many other things besides.—

I would rather have granted you the summons to the Rockefellers. Still—the Americans don't deserve better.

I don't understand the remark about Hoche's circular; I haven't heard anything about it yet.

All editorial matters that may come in will be directed to Rank in my absence.

I did have to postpone my critique of the libido paper. I hope to be able to send it to you from Corfu, where I will otherwise only be lazy and sun myself.

Perhaps you will also indulge in a few days of rest at Easter. I think you owe it to yourself and to us all.—

Say hello to all your dear ones for me, and make me happy with a letter; my address is: Dr. F., Corfu, Hotel Angleterre et Belle Venise.

See you again.
