Letter from Ernest Jones to Sigmund Freud, January 11, 1922

11 January 1922
69 Portland Court, London

Dear Professor,

Your interpretation of the rumour about my son was of course quite correct, though I hope that it is a happy forecast of what we expect in another six week's time.

We had a very restful Xmas holiday at Elsted and have returned to work with fresh vigour.

I will of course let you know when I hear from Kann.

I have not yet heard from Egerton as to which articles he is translating and have sent him a sharp reminder. But I am practically certain he will do none from Vol. I, so that Anna and Rickman can safely do any from this volume. A propos Rickman, the case I describe in the double number of the Journal is from his wife, with of course her consent. Is it not a pretty one?1

Of course I think the Five Lectures should be rescued, as you well call it, if possible and on getting your letter I wrote to the American publisher. I trust you will approve of my actions in regard to the McCann piracy.

My wife and I thank you very warmly for your kind New Year's wishes and reciprocate most heartily.

yours always affectionately

Ernest Jones.
