[Budapest, undated]1
Dear Professor,
I don't know whether it is a “supposed” or a real mistake if I am tormented by the idea that I didn't tell you that James Glover traveled with four Englishmen from Vienna to Budapest, was received cordially here, and that we inaugurated an English Society meeting in their honor, in which Róheim lectured in English and I presided in English.2
If I did make a mistake, then the mistake was at least good for my being able to reply quickly to the greeting from you which was brought to me today by Urbantschitsch.—What do you and Fräulein Anna think about his new plans?3
Kind regards,
Ferenczi
Placement here, which can also be confirmed by the format and condition of the stationery, has been made on the basis of the mention of the Englishmen's visit in Budapest (see letter 957) and of Urbantschitsch's “new plans” (see Freud's response to them, letter 960).
“April 29, 1924. Dr. G. Róheim: ‘Dreams and Adaptation in the History of Mankind’ (Trauma of Birth and Theory of Genitality, Cosmogeny, Dragon Legends, Culture Heroes, Sacrifices, Origin of Festive Customs).—Dr. S. Ferenczi gave a brief, introductory lecture. The meeting was held in English in honor of the members of the British Psycho-Analytical Society staying in Budapest” (Zeitschrift 10 [1924]: 351).
See letter 939, n. 4, and letter 960.
