Dear friend,
Sachs will send you a little publication from Groddeck in Baden-Baden, for which you have been prepared by his correspondence with me, and to which I ask you to dedicate a detailed, benevolent review without much delay.1 I know and share your objections, but the heart of the matter coincides with your pathoneuroses and our Lamarck idea, and is certainly noteworthy. To what extent Groddeck's assertions are justified will be left to verification through suitable experience. Moreover, we have a personal interest in drawing him into the circle of our collaborators and to cultivate divergences from our way of thinking that are not fundamentally disruptive. In a letter today he also offered me contributions which I think I should accept.
I have heard from you only indirectly lately, but everything was good.
