Budapest, November 3, 1917
Dear Professor,
I have received with thanks Lou Salomé's paper,1 but I haven't read it yet. She is certainly capable, and her style somewhat tortuous, as always.
In this very eventful time I am preoccupied much too much with my petty worries, which are: troubles in the hospital, attempts to be relieved of military duty, transitory indispositions, etc.
Essentially, I am well. I spend evenings in Frau G.'s new apartment (IV., Molnár-utca 12.II). During the day completely busy. It seems that even the Christians are beginning to get interested in my art of healing. Up to now I have had almost exclusively Jews as patients. I could easily have two or three times as many patients as I can accept. But I don't seem to like to separate from old patients—most have been with me for over a year! There is some error in this!
What do you hear from your sons—especially from Martin? I hope you already have reassuring news about his experiences in the great offensive.
Frau Gizella is certainly counting on having your Annerl come to Budapest for Christmas (as she promised). Lodging with her has been taken care of.—By the way, you and the ladies could also spend the Christmas vacation
