Internationale Zeitschrift für Ärztliche Psychoanalyse
Budapest, December 10, 1913
Dear Professor,
I still owe you a whole series of thank-yous: for the magnificent work on taboo, for the third Collection of the Kleine Schriften,1 for the offprint of the “pregenital” paper,2 and now also for your very successful portrait.
In the last few weeks I have been busy correcting the third Hungarian collection,3 which may be published in two weeks. In the foreword I couldn't resist reacting to the University's harsh treatment of me with a very strong characterization of today's neurologist and psychiatrist types.
Nothing has crystallized out in the way of work plans. I would like to write a detailed discussion of Bergson's work on laughing for Imago.4 Please tell Rank that I requested the German translation, which was just published by Diederich, from the publisher for review!—The last issue of the Zeitschrift was very elegant. Its few readers in Budapest congratulated me on it.—I have to forward the congratulations to the right place (Vienna).—
Frau G. is now staying in Vienna; her brother-in-law (Herr Stross, with whom Elma was living) died suddenly.—Elma seems to be quite contented; she is now also officially engaged.—
I think I have finally succeeded in discovering the real source of my sleep disturbances in the relative insufficiency of my nasal breathing. So I will probably have to go to Vienna at Christmas to take care of this matter.—Otherwise, I feel strong and well.—
Kind regards to all of you.
Yours,
