Vienna, November 17, 1928
IX., Berggasse 19
Dear friend,
Robert1 has reported, with his accustomed pessimism, that you both returned from beautiful Spain sick and miserable. So I was very pleased that you corrected this horror message in your letter. I hope you will soon feel restored and will then soon really seize an opportunity to give me a verbal picture of your impressions of the trip.
Just today I received volume XII of the Spanish edition from Ballesteros.
I am living naturally better and more independently than before with an approximately seventy percent improvement in my prosthesis. Psychological laws, unfortunately, demand that I feel the remaining thirty percent all too markedly.
Today Pötzl gave his inaugural speech as the successor to Wagner-Jauregg. As is well known, he is our member, but he exhausted himself, as Anna tells us, in devotion to his teacher and predecessor, so that he has only a few cool references to analysis left.
In rearranging my library, I found, to my horror, that vol. VIII, 1 and 3,2 of the International Journal are still at your place. If you send me these two issues, in order to disprove my distrust, I can have the volume bound.
With kind regards to you and Frau G.
Yours,
Freud
