Dear Professor,
We were very pleased to get your permission to acquire the English rights of the two books in question and I have asked the Hogarth Press to enter in communication with Martin. Strachey has volunteered to translate the ‘Hemmung, Sympton und Angst’, which is very gratifying. He and his wife are doing very useful work at present in an extensive revision of our Glossary.1
I am reluctantly inclined to think you are right about my proposal of a Gedenkbuch. It would be useless to think of any proposal that would not give you pleasure, and I dare say you can guess that the risks of invidiousness in my proposal might result in considerable jealousy and ill feeling. We shall probably fall back on the photograph suggestion, which strikes me as a very interesting one, with many possibilities in it. Fortunately for you Eitingon will not be President at the time of your birthday. I think you know that I share more fully your quiet attitude about ceremonial occasions.
McDougall gave three lectures on you recently at University College,2
