Dear Professor,
Martin is, I think, leaving for Russia on Nov. 28. He has sent me a postcard from you, as has V. Emden, and I have received the letter from your archaeological friend.1 Today came from Jekels, via V. Emden, his article on Napoleon,2 which will interest me very much; will you please thank him for it, as I haven't his address. I should be greatly obliged if you would get the journals, including the Jahrbuch, sent for me to V. Emden, and then Dr. Bisschop3 will call on him and fetch them when he is next in the Haag. Loe and I also exchange all the letters, etc., we receive, so as to get the latest news of you and your family. We shall be especially eager to hear about your sons' welfare, and to know what happens about Rank and Sachs.
I would give a great deal to have an hour's talk with you, which I am afraid must be postponed until perhaps the summer of 1916, and do not know which topic to begin with in a letter. I keenly hope that you will be able to spare some attention from the war, and give it to more productive aims, so that the writings that will result from your increased leisure will to some extent compensate for other things (what Ferenczi calls nachkriechende Lust).4 What about the Handbuch article on Hysteria?5 Also what are you writing for Imago? I have written to Payne offering to help him with the translation of the historical essay, if it is arranged with Brill. You say this is appearing in Prince's Journal, but I thought it was in Jelliffe's Review.6 Janet has republished his paper from the Congress Transactions in both his own Journal de Psychologie and in Prince's Journal.7 He made not the slightest modification of his mis-statements, and so I have written a rejoinder which should appear in the December number of the Journal of Abnormal Psychology.8 As you may imagine, it is quite unsparing, and calculated to affect his reputation in America.
We have had only one meeting of our society since Ju
