29 March 1934
Vienna, IX. Berggasse 19
Dear Jones,
Thank you very much for your letter and the friendly interest it demonstrates. It contains a great many details which were unknown to me, that is, were concealed from me, and alter the interpretation of the situation in your sense. It does not seem to me connected with a worsening of the prognosis. I was still very concerned about the possibility of residual organic disturbances. I know nothing of the advice given by Viennese authorities for long bed rest. I hope Ernst will take your advice. Dr. Lampl1 is perhaps right in thinking that an examination by an ear specialist can remove the doubts about the nature of the giddiness and thus open the way to certain practical measures.
I shall be very pleased when I can see you in Vienna in August. Probably with your dear wife, I hope? I still do not know where we shall receive you; we are just searching. It gives me great satisfaction to hear from Anna that you both work together so well.
Times are bleak and life is no longer easy.
With cordial greetings.
Yours,
Freud
