Vienna, January 6, 1919
IX., Berggasse 19
Dear friend,
True to an intention, I am writing to you quickly and without any particularly pressing motivation. Toni is better, a full neurosis; this time influencing is going more slowly, for the last magical cure came from the prospect of making the father rich, which is now proving to be unfeasible. I am naturally prepared to let him go home for a hiatus, if the circumstances in Budapest demand it of him. Occasion to talk much about Frau Dubovicz has not yet arisen.
So, the Verlag has now come into being with Heller's support. I don't envy Rank, he has an enormous amount to do. (I, by the way, also have nine to ten hours in the practice.) We have engaged Reik as the second power and are paying him 6,000 crowns for this work and for the business of the Society. We will be disposing of a hell of a lot of money altogether. Hungarian frivolity has infected us.
Hitschmann and Abraham are supposed to come into the Zeitschrift as editors1 and to take an interest in the reviews in preparation for the annual report. But I would still like you to keep your role as a leader secure and to express it by taking a critical position with regard to really significant publications in the literature. Entice your members to zealously read papers as well.
Nothing new from Martin, two out-of-date cards with good content.
I am still thick-headed, scientifically. Tomorrow I am busy from 8 o'clock to 8 o'clock, and productivity won't be stimulated then. I have to go to bed earlier than usual. A fond good-bye and kind regards to your Frau G. from all of us and especially from
Your Freud
That is in fact what happened.
