Dear Professor,
As I already informed you by telegram, the fact of Dr. Burlingham's being unproductively informed cannot be explained by Dr. Amsden's inattentiveness or indiscretion, nor by his false scientific or therapeutic attitude, but by the slyly-skillfully instituted violation of the confidentiality of the mails by Dr. Burlingham.
Dr. Amsden soon discovered this and reproached the patient for it.
Your letter of today had some effect, to the extent that Dr. Amsden (who is accessible to all my and your arguments) will accelerate his plan to take upon himself the surveillance of Dr. Burlingham. He also plans, I think, to keep Dr. Burlingham from traveling to the Semmering for Bob's birthday party.
I think Dr. Amsden will also write to you personally.
It goes without saying that I am also prepared for any further mediation.
Yours,
Ferenczi
