Vienna, IX. Berggasse 19
My dear Jones,
The receipts of three of your reprints this morning which happens to be a Sunday reminds me that I am to answer your letter speedily if I am not to wait for another adress.1 To be sure I felt the obligation many times in these last weeks, but I am so fatigued in the evenings and so busy in daytime—I had to give up even the Sunday respite—that the idea of writing an english letter has become pushed back from day to day while time went on incessantly.
As you are eager for criticism let me say that your paper on the therap. action of ΨA2 proved me again that there are few men so fitted to deal with the arguments of others than you and that you are perfectly right about the view of resistance, while you hint at the same time at another source of therap. gain about which more could be said, the moment of the distance of times.
The dream which could easily be recognised as your own interested me highly though you may have altered some of the material relations.3 It would be matter of much [thou]4 talk which I hope we will have together. As your wife is in the centre of interest after your passing over to Europe, I may think of seeing you again in England in Sept., after the interview in June. I promised to have a look at my brother there who is finishing his 80th year.5 It is not yet fixed where I should travel in harvest, there is no Congress this year and so it could be made possible to see more of you and of England than I had first thought of.
To be sure the health of your wife will be the most important concern. In June my work at Vienna may be shrinking, my interest to be sure will not.
