Berlin-Tegel
Sanatorium Schloss Tegel
Dear Jones,
You know that I came to Berlin to have a more tolerable prosthesis made by Prof. Schröder. I do not know yet if it will be successful, but think hope is justified. I will probably have to stay here until the end of this month. Anna is with me; I found the most gracious reception at Simmel's Sanatorium.1 It is half an hour by car from the city center, but beautiful and quiet, situated in a park a few minutes from Lake Tegel. The weather has been very good, the treatment quite exhausting. Before I leave for home, I will write you again as to what I have achieved, if anything.
I enclose a short paper for the Journal by my student Ruth Mack-Brunswick2 and greet you and your dear wife cordially.
Yours,
Freud
Ernst Simmel (1882-1947), influential in setting up the psychoanalytic training curriculum at the Berlin Psychoanalytic Institute; in 1927 founded the Psychoanalytic Clinic at Tegel Sanatorium outside Berlin, where Freud stayed periodically to have work done on his prosthesis; went to Los Angeles in 1934.
