Vienna, January 9, 1919
IX., Berggasse 19
Dear friend,
I am replying to you promptly and therefore only briefly.
I will naturally offer the most intensive interest to Frau Margit Dubovicz, but I am presently working nine hours a day and can't take on anything more. She shall have the next free hour, whether [it comes] in weeks or months. Try to hold her off until then; otherwise I would advise her to go to Frau Dr. Révész, whom I believe capable of much.
Toni is now suffering from a periostitis, which he doesn't dare consider to be a metastasis. I don't consider his presence in Vienna to be a contraindication to the treatment of Frau Dubovicz; for I could certainly restrain him, but I would have no influence on her if they were here together. So it is a good thing that it isn't working now.
The Verlag is already working very zealously. The Dutch translation of the Lectures, Part 1, arrived today.1
I regret finding signs of a certain dejectedness in your last letters.
Cordially,
Freud
The first part of the Dutch translation by A. W. van Renterghem of Freud 1916-17a had been published by Maatsch in Antwerp in 1918; the second followed in 1919.
