Budapest, June 29, 1930
Dear Professor,
I am infinitely sorry to hear that you have to stay in Berlin so long beyond the time that was anticipated. I presumed for a long time that this doesn't happen without much pain and trouble; I also greatly regretted the fact that you have to spend the most beautiful time of the summer with dentists. Let's hope your imprisonment doesn't last much longer and that soon you will be able to breathe the mountain air, which is so indispensable to you.
We are already packing; the new house, almost spic-and-span, awaits us. The move will take place on July 3 or 4. The new address will read:
I. Lisznyai utca 11.
But the worries of a house owner are already beginning: the second large residence meanwhile stands empty for August (that does, to be sure, increase the intimacy of accommodation).
In the meantime, I am working diligently: seven-eight-nine hours a day; the finer mechanism of “psychic trauma” and its relation to psychosis is also shaping up into a very impressive picture, at least for me. Perhaps I will make something of it during the October vacation. (We want to stay in Budapest all summer.)
Many kind regards and best wishes.
Yours,
Ferenczi
