Vienna, November 13, 1913
IX., Berggasse 19
Dear friend,
Nothing at all can be predicted about votes. Although, rationally, I share your prognosis, I am still not sure whether I shouldn't soon congratulate you, which I will do very gladly.
I don't find Jung's style Christian but rather impudent and venomous. As if your judgment couldn't be based on your own observations at the Congress. And then, his mockery of interpretation. Truly ψα!
I find it disappointing that you want to abridge us in your lecture. You should accomplish the same amount, no matter whether you have much or little to do. The times demand it now. The suspense over your lecture is already very great.
Jones, who judges things very soberly, today enclosed a letter for me from Putnam,1 which will get to you by way of Rank-Sachs. Send it back to Jones. Jones has also suggested a Committee meeting in Vienna for Christmas. But I will be in Hamburg at that time, and I offered to spend Sunday, December 28, from noon until evening in Berlin with him and Abraham. Of course, it would also be very nice if you could be there. I will pay a visit to Abraham, in any event.
You should have received Totem and Taboo. Tomorrow there is an editorial supper with Hitschmann.
I am now devoting every free hour to the Interpretation of Dreams, which is very tedious and annoying. I wouldn't be able to get started without Rank. The reading is too stupid. I intend to be finished by Christmas.
I greet you and Frau G. cordially.
Yours,
