Dear Dr. Jones,
I am very sorry you have to leave Toronto and to leave without the title you have so well deserved. You have, as it were, conquered America in no more than two years, and I am by no means assured which way things will go, when you are far. But I am glad you are returning to England, as I expect you will do the same for your mother-country, which by the way has become a better soil since you left it. I had to refuse no less than three offers for translating the “Traumdeutung” from Englishmen, expecting as you know that Brill will do it soon.1 I have got to answer letters from towns like Bradford, and one of the medical men at least, Osler,2 did actually send me a patient, who is still under care of Federn.3 So your task may prove less hard than you seem to judge it. Let me add, that one of the three I mentioned, Dr. Eder,4 editor of “School Hygiene” promised to bring before the British Medical Association the report of a case cured by ΨA.5 Yet I confess, apart from Havelock Ellis,6 all the applications betray german names.
Now to answer your letter point by point.
I have got the articles by Dercum and Lloyd and cried over the last; it is too stupid. I did not get the review by Acher, Stanley Hall never sends anything.
As for the internal dissension with Adler, it was likely to come and I have ripened the crisis. It is the revolt of an abnormal individual driven mad by ambition, his influence upon others depending on his strong terrorism and sadismus. I hope we will lose a good many others of little or no use who are ready to follow him. I am by no means unhappy at the event.
You are perhaps aware of the plan not only of incorporating the Correspondenzblatt into the Zentralblatt but of raising the latter to the role of
