Vienna, IX. Berggasse 19
Dear Jones,
I have come back yesterday at night from Budapest, where we—Rank and I and Ferenczi as an interpreter—have helped Loe to become Mrs. Herbert Jones. I am sure it must be hard for you and so it is for me when I remember the series of events from the evening in the Weimar coffeehouse when you offered me her treatment to the moments when I assisted to her wedding with another. It is a most remarkable chain of changes between persons and feelings of such and the most striking points seem to me, that our relations have not been spoiled and that I have learned even to like the other man. As for her, I fully appreciate what I have heard from you as a first description of her person. She is charming, is a jewel as you call her in your noble-minded letter and she is too extraordinarily abnormal to make a workers happiness. She must be judged for herself, measured by a standard fitted to her only self.
Herbert J. though a youth in appearance is a accomplished man in fact and I trust they will enjoy as much happiness as her health will permit for the time coming. The couple will spend some days on the Semmering and then come back to Vienna to stay until I lieve. I have no hope she will get rid of morphia until then but I think it is wiser not to ask of her what she cannot give and I am eager not to loose my interest with her. Take all together, she must disarm the critic and make a friend of him.
Now for the other points of your letter I had taken with me to Bpest to answer it on the field, but I could not. I thank you sincerely for your emendations of my proofs, all of which are sure to be regardid. I will insert some lines about Pf., where I know is the most vulnerable link of the harness. I am sorry you follow Jungs moves with too great anxiety. It is unavoidable that he should follow his track, fulfill his mission, produce his impressions and arrive to a personification of some of the resistances, ΨA is destined to meet in her
