Internationale Zeitschrift Für Ärztliche Psychoanalyse
Budapest, November 6, 1913
Dear Professor,
The letter to Jung was sent with the changes suggested. Besides the expressions “ambiguities” and “insults” I also inserted into the letter the sentences contained on the enclosed sheet of paper.—
I received a letter from Jones, which is, however, still not a reply to the one which was mailed in Vienna. He reports the founding of the London group,1 which he has already communicated to Jung. We will therefore be able to appear more united against Jung. Jones will certainly first have to finish things up with Eder—his present secretary—. Deuticke's attitude in the whole affair is very significant. If I were in your place I would punish him by withdrawing his right to publication of all psychoanalytic works.
A brother of Claparède's, who had a Budapester for a wife, died here suddenly a few days ago. This morning I accidentally met Prof. Claparède2 at breakfast at the Hotel Royal; he came to the funeral. Along with a few friendly words that we exchanged, I got from him the news that upon his recommendation I have been designated as one of the discussants on “hypnosis” for the Congress of the Société internationale de Psychologie (in Bern, September 5-12, 1914).* I didn't turn him down; to be sure, it is questionable if I can be in Bern at that time. The co-discussant is a Norwegian whose name was unfamiliar to me.
My lecture in Vienna on thought transference has been confirmed for the 19th of this month.3
I eagerly await your news about the course of negotiations.
Cordially,
Ferenczi
