Burghölzli-Zürich, 24 January 1909
Dear Professor Freud,
Your meddling in my editorial activities is of course quite acceptable to me as I still don't1 feel too firm in the saddle. In particular, I can't cope properly with the advertising style. Enclosed is the new
version of the preface which I hope will be more to your liking. I have taken your wishes fully into account, also Deuticke's.
May I ask a favour of you? Recently I was consulted about a young man (apparently a severe case of hysteria with fugues) who is at present in Vienna. His family are middling well-to-do. I would like to hand him over to one of your pupils. For various reasons he doesn't want to go to Stekel (he has been to him once already), so I'd rather send him to someone else. Whom could you recommend? May I take this opportunity to ask you the addresses of Sadger, Adler and Federn?
My Agathli dreamt she was riding in Noah's Ark, the bottom could be opened and then something fell out.2 Thus the daughter confirms the interpretation given by her mother, as you may remember from last autumn.
With best regards,
Most sincerely yours, DR. JUNG
Jung forgot to write the negative, then inserted: nicht (!) (zu dumm!) = “not (!) (too stupid!).” Cf. below, 130 F par. 1.
Cf. “Psychic Conflicts in a Child,” CW 17, par. 32.
