Vienna, January 28, 1917
IX., Berggasse 19
Dear friend,
I heard about your diagnosis with regret, without ascribing the same significance to it as you. Illnesses of this kind now seem to be uncommonly frequent and certainly don't always mean anything serious. It also turned out with Anna that in breathing the apex of one of her lungs comes through less clearly, otherwise nothing. She looks bad, though, is tired, and has temperatures between 36.9 and 37.3. As soon as possible she will take a leave of several weeks. Of course, where to in these times? It will probably be Semmering.
It would be very nice if you came to Vienna for a day before your trip, as you indicated.1
I have finally received some books on Lamarck. My impression is that we are coming completely into line with the psycho-Lamarckists, such as Pauly,2 and will have little to say that is completely new. Still, ΨA will then have left its calling card with biology.
The printing of Lectures III has finally begun.
Fräulein Helberg was with Hitschmann only for an internal examination. I haven't seen her since.
