18 May 1909
Vienna, IX. Berggasse 19
Dear Dr. Jones,
I heartily acknowledge the receipt of a big heap of printed matter containing your valuable contributions to organic neuropathology1 and foreshadowing another lot neither smaller nor less in value of your communications about neuroses and psychoanalysis, we do expect you will produce in the next years.
I can give you the information, that we—Dr. Ferenczi and I—intend sailing from Bremen August 21st on board “George Washington” N. D. L. I cannot know if this term may coincide with your return to America. In any case you know we are fixed.
I have not yet made up my mind about the subject of my lectures in Worcester. Sometimes it occurs to me as the best expedient to treat dreams and their interpretations. I am ready to take up your hints, if you are of other opinion.
I am with best love to you
yours sincerely
Freud
Likely the selections published prior to mid-May 1909 from Jones (1905a, 1907b, 1907c, 1907e, 1908a, 1908b, 1908c, 1909a, 1910b, and 1911a), reprints of which were kept by Freud and are contained in the Sigmund Freud Memorial Collection at the New York State Psychiatric Institute Library, New York. There may be a hint of sarcasm in Freud's acknowledgment of these nonpsychoanalytic writings, for Jones at this stage had only one published paper of a psychoanalytical orientation to his credit; see Jones (1908d).
