Dear Professor Freud,
I have not heard from you since Christmas—the longest interval for some years—but from other friends (Van Emden, Rank, etc.) I hear that things are going pretty well with you. Letters from Rank, Sachs, and Ferenczi have come, and have been exceedingly welcome in this lonely time, which now promises to last longer than I had hoped. Thank you for the reprints, which arrived safely. The one on Übertragungsliebe1 interested me greatly, and I should have liked to discuss my experiences of it with you. I have seen all the various outcomes of it that you describe, fortunate and unfortunate. The last Zeitschrift I received was the January number; presumably others have since appeared. I trust it will be possible to maintain it, even if Imago and the Jahrbuch are suspended. Our society has not met since last autumn, owing to Eder's attitude. He is now serving in Malta, and I hope to get him to resign his position so that we can meet without him in October.
My personal news is pretty good. I am extremely well in health, and still busy in practice (8 hours). At Easter I spent two days holiday in Cornwall, and send you two photographs as a souvenir of that. There is a strong call for doctors to join the Army, but I conceive my first duty to be to keep the ψα flag flying. Still I have offered my half-time services to the War Office, and hope to get some appointment in a London Hospital,
