IX., Berggasse 19
Dear friend,
The matter of the summer has been arranged in a manner that will certainly suit you, since it promises us a maximum of being together. On the morning of July 5 I am going with Anna (by ship) to Steinbruch as a guest of Freund, that is to say, his sister Levy; in the meantime my wife is going to Schwerin, where Sophie urgently wishes her presence. I will refrain from making plans about staying so near to Budapest; everything will work out. Let us hope there won't be too bad disruptions. Martin is at the Piave offensive,1 and this time things are going very hard. Oli just passed through Fiume; he still doesn't know whether he will continue on to Dalmatia or Albania. Ernst returned yesterday from Abbazia, brown as coffee but not free of catarrh, but he wants to continue fighting. My eighty-three-year-old mother is in Ischl.
Among the little works destined for Steinbruch is also the editing of the fifth edition of the Interpretation of Dreams, which has now been ordered by Deuticke.2 On account of the transportation difficulties, I can't take along the literature about Lamarck-Darwin. You, too, ought not to fill up your honeymoon just with that.
The Swedish letters are enclosed. I wouldn't interrogate that woman any further; she is certainly a too clouded source. Pfeifer's paper also has my approbation. But something else, something more comprehensive, remains to be said about children's games.
Dr. Freund is now developing an interest in our relations to publishing
