Sanatorium Groddeck.
Villa Marienhöhe.
Baden-Baden, September 9, 1921
Werderstrasse 141
Dear Professor,
The surprising communication just arrived from Rank that he is traveling to the location of the Congress alone—without his wife. That requires us to arrange our trip in such a way that my wife will go from here to Vienna alone, and I will come alone to the location of the Congress. If we had known that, we would have organized ourselves that way in the first place.—
I will write to you about the up to now very favorable impressions, or—since you will soon depart from Seefeld—I would rather tell you everything personally.2
Many kind regards.
Yours,
Ferenczi

The members of the Committee met on September 21 in Hildesheim. They visited,
among other things, the Egyptian museum there, as well as Goslar and Schierke at the foot of Brocken Mountain, which they climbed. Along with “Psychoanalysis and Telepathy,” Freud also lectured on “Some Neurotic Mechanisms in Jealousy, Paranoia, and Homosexuality” (Freud 1922b). The “Congress” lasted until the end of September.
