Grand Hôtel Royal
Nagyszálloda
Dear Professor,
I am very sorry that there is no third room to be had. Perhaps you will be able to work something out on the premises. My sister was successful that way in finding a room for Sachs's lady friend in the Hotel Móry not far from Csorbató. I don't know if we will succeed in reserving it for you.
Frau G. is going to Tátralomnicz this evening in a sleeping car. Her ill health recently manifested itself in fainting spells, among other things, so that, at my urging, she is taking along her housemaid. These conditions evidently have their roots—along with the Ψ one—in the strong anemia. She also has temperatures of 37.1-37.4.
Best suited for our meeting is the spa Tátrafüred, which is easily accessible from both Csorba and Lomnicz. Did you receive the little travel guide on the Tátra region?
If the heat persists, then the climate in Csorba will totally prove its worth. Besides the walk to the Poppersee (Podrád-tó), I recommend as a nice excursion—for you and Fräulein Anna—the outing on the Polish Crest, the excursion to the “Five Lakes” out of Tátrafüred—at least as far as the “Chamois” in this direction. (From Tátrafüred by cable car up to the “Little Crest” (Tarajka)—from there further on foot in the Kohlbach Valley (Tarpatak) with a pretty waterfall.)
It is doubtful whether I can visit you and Frau G. My “boss” has me firmly in his clutches. A new attempt is now being made to have me relieved (the step was initiated by the Workers' Health Service). I place very little hope in it.
I was able to put the Róheim case in order. Within three weeks the first three pages of the “Zauberspiegel” will get to Sachs. The three additional ones will remain for the next issue of Imago.—On Sunday I will deign to accept Róheim's invitation to their villa;2 there I also hope to catch the aforementioned Dr. Jellinek for an Imago paper. (That is an interesting crowd of erudite millionaires' sons who have come to science as a react
