Marienbad, August 3, 1913
Dear friend,
I ended my cure yesterday, and my toxic lassitude has gone with it. In addition, a paper came today that I am enclosing for you,1 a good example of specific Adlerian poison. Now, these are our opponents! I will, of course,
not respond at all. It seems to be an attempt at a malicious tease. I don't know the author. The most regrettable thing is that he is right about so much that he says about Jung.
I am now going to read Jung's new paper;2 it will establish our behavior at the Congress but not change it anymore. I don't know why I should resign from the Jahrbuch. I don't want either to provoke a break or vacate a position that is still good.
Today your mother returned my visit. A fine woman with remarkably clear eyes. We will see her again before she leaves.
We are leaving on Monday the 11th and arrive in S. Martino on the 13th. I know that your lateness will be due to a marriage in the family, but I still pity you.
Marienbad was magnificently beautiful the last five days. But I am already too restless for the easy living here.
I have agreed to make a brief report at the Congress. I will convey to you later what it will be about. A request from Jung and an urgent reminder from Abraham are making me do it, although the freedom of discussion that Jung has set up doesn't suit me.3 I fear we will come apart worse at the Congress than we intend. But we still want to hold onto these intentions as long as possible.
With kind regards, in the expectation of hearing from you.
