1003 Seestrasse, Kusnach-Zürich,
Dear Professor Freud,
28 March 1911
A brief reply to your letter received today. Before anything else happens I will write to Seif and ask what the chances are for the Congress in Munich. The final decision of the local groups will depend on that.
Silberer's manuscript, which I find lacking in clarity, has so antagonized Bleuler that he started yelling even before he was hit, as you see from the enclosed. Have you read the manuscript? If not, I will send it to you at once. In any case Silberer will have to wait until the second number of the Jahrbuch. I have written to Bleuler that it is all right with me if he exerts an influence on the publications in the Jahrbuch, and it is up to him to express his wishes. Do you agree?
I would very much like you or one of your people to review Stekel's book, and should also be grateful if you would state our position regarding Adler. In Zürich the interest in Adler is so slight that I haven't even been able to find anyone to speak about his things at the Society.
As regards Australia I too am thinking of something along the American lines. An extract from the association experiment, theory of complexes, and Dem. praec., so I won't be poaching on your preserves!
I go south on April 5th, and tomorrow to Berlin. Kraus is on holiday (not my fault!), instead Prof, von Bergmann1 awaits me (the name sounds authentic). Dr. Busch of Tübingen is here and tells me that except for the chief the whole clinic has been smitten with Ψ A. Things are on the move!
Kindest regards, JUNG
Gustav von Bergmann (1878-1955), pupil of Friedrich Kraus at the Charité, later professor of internal medicine in Munich and Berlin. See next letter, n. 1.
