Dear Professor Freud,
I'm sick of work myself and longing for the holidays. Lately I have made the mistake of letting myself be swamped by my practice, my scientific work has fallen badly in arrears, and this is not at all good
for me. My libido protests vigorously against any kind of one-sided occupation.
Dr. Sachs was here and has left me with a good impression. In all probability we can expect great things of the new journal.
Bleuler has sent in a detailed, rather too favourable report on Forel's views of ΨA for the Jahrbuch.2 One of these days I must check up on Bleuler in a discussion at the Society. In many ways he is incredibly backward for lack of practical experience.
I received the enclosed letter from Adler. He seems to be extending his delusional ideas to me, since he refers to a rumour allegedly circulating in Vienna to the effect that I have demanded his removal from the Society. Of course I wrote immediately saying that this was quite out of the question, that on the contrary I would find his loss most regrettable, etc. Who is it starts this kind of rumour?
Dr. Poul Bjerre has sent in a paper for the Jahrbuch.3 We have no lack of material. This year's volume will be a hefty one.
Little Frl. D——4 from the dim past has come to me for treatment after all and is behaving very nicely.
That's the end of my news. I see from your card5 that you have made a successful start with your holidays. I envy you. Mine start only in August, unfortunately with this trip to Brussels for the lecture. I wish you the best of luck for your recovery. I hope I can soon send you the Jahrbuch as a travelling companion—I am working on the last sheets.
