Venice, Café Florián,
May 22, 19321
Dear Professor,
P.S. to the last letter. It will interest you to know that in our group lively debates are going on about the female castration complex and penis envy.2 I must admit that in my practice these don't play the great role that one had expected theoretically. What has been your experience?
Venice is lovely, as always.
Yours,
Ferenczi
I am staying [in the] Hotel Danieli.
