My dear Jones,
Than[k]s for your letter. That of Jung returns to you. It shows he does not feel quite happy. As for the remark on rumour he at least should be able to recognise the value of a rumour by his own analytical experience. The fact is that he accepted Deuticke's offer the very day it was made to him.1 He is indeed oversure of his indispensableness, therefore my breaking loose from him is punished by self-destruction. The same as with Stekel, after he had cheated me of the Zentralblatt he pitied me for “throwing away my best friends”.
It is a pity, this member of yours going to Z[urich] for analysis, he will be lost for you.2 We know J. s position is a very strong one, our only hope is still he will ruin it himself. You will have to fight him for the influence in England and America and it may be a long and hard struggle. In this course of interests your losing the professorship at Toronto seems to be a blessing in disguise. I can't think you will be able to acquire the position and the patients you want at London, when you are forced to absent yourself for three months during the best season. As for the title you would keep it in Germany and you will remain Prof. J. with us, you know titles stick far more intensily to the person with us than in other countries.
I am flattered you ask a portrait of mine for your flat. That mentioned by you was taken by my son Oliver 7 years ago, enlarged by a Zurich photographer and I possess no sample of the same. But I am in a position to offer you in a few weeks a copper-heliogravure of the other (1909) very much enlarged, and highly satisfying, which is being made by the editors of “Nos Contemporains” a French publication. Besides a very able young “Radirer” [etcher] is working now to produce an other portrait of my
