Burghölzli-Zürich, 17 March 1909
Dear Professor Freud,
Fate seems to have conspired against my trip to Vienna. I have just received a telegram from the wife of a patient summoning me urgently to Berlin. The case is unfortunately such that I cannot refuse, as it is someone to whom I have obligations also as a friend. I don't know yet what it's all about, but it seems to be something serious. The trip is postponed, not abandoned! As soon as I can, i.e., as soon as the matter is more or less settled, I shall come. If worst comes to worst I'll give up a bit of Italy. Naturally, my wife is not amused by this turn of events either. We both give vent to our exasperated regrets and meanwhile wave to you sorrowfully from afar.
Most sincerely yours, JUNG
