Vienna, IX. Berggasse 19
My dear Jones,
I am very proud of your remarks in continuation of the masochistic business. No doubt you are right, you have hit the very point where the matter must be followed. But it is not yet time to discuss it, perhaps when you come the next time or we meet at another place, it will have advanced so far.
Putnams letter is precious, I could not resolve destroying it, I send it back to you. He is a man of doubt, we know by his self-analysis (you remember the Griselda paper).1 He does not mention the letter I wrote upon Jung's character. It may produce no good effect with him as he is unable to renounce to an ideal-Sublimirung. I got a letter from him perhaps by the same ship, pretty reserved and of no importance.
Loe has just given in and will take a daily treatment—if not interrupted by Herbert J.'s arrival. She is making no progress in the Morphia struggle.
Ferenczi did not speak to me about your plan for a paper on symbolism. I will communicate with him about the subject. It is hardly ripe, symbolism, but any contribution from F. must be welcome.
I will write and accept Dr. Hamill, who promises to come in March.
I have finished Moses the first day of this year and liked it better while writing than before.2 The printers' strike is not yet finished.
I am glad to hear from you as from your letter to Loe that you [are] in good spirits. Now help me and our cause in this advancing year as we expect you to do.
Yours truly
