Vienna, March 30, 1930
IX., Berggasse 19
Dear friend,
I can't refrain from thanking you kindly for the reception that you prepared for Anna, and the honor which you bestowed upon her. Her development seems so gratifying to me that every reverberation also does me very much good.
You now know everything about me, and I also [know] much about you. The best was for me to hear that I have the prospect of seeing you before my trip to Berlin. It has now been confirmed that we will make a pilgrimage to Berlin on April 23 (so, right after Easter).1 My wife, in consequence of Schröder's request, went yesterday alone, and intends to be back in about two weeks.
Kind regards in the meantime to you and your dear wife.
Yours,
Freud
Ferenczi visited Freud on the weekend of April 12-13. It was not until May 4 that Freud and Anna finally traveled to Berlin, accompanied by their former analysands Dorothy Burlingham and, in that connection, Judy de Forest (see letter 1186 and n. 1) and Mabbie Burlingham. From April 22 to May 3, Freud had to undergo a diet treatment in the Cottage Sanatorium on account of colic (see letter 1186; Diary, pp. 65-69; , The Last Tiffany [New York, 1989], p. 211; Peter Heller, ed., Anna Freud's Letters to Eva Rosenfeld [Madison, Conn., 1992], pp. 134f.).
