Dear Professor Freud,
It's not all that bad with my money-making; nevertheless I grant you are right. The feeling of inferiority that often overcomes me when I measure myself against you has always to be compensated by increased emulation. I need a large practice in order to gain experience, for I do not imagine that I know too much. Also, I have had to demonstrate to myself that I am able to make money in order to rid myself of the thought that I am non-viable. These are all frightful stupidities which can only be overcome by acting them out. I think I am now over the mountain so far as my practice is concerned. During the winter semester I shall be merciless with myself. This stage has to be overcome too. It is, as you know, no light matter to suffer financial success. I have never thrived on it. Scientific work does me far more good.
I have now finished my Brussels lecture. It contains a short, very nice child analysis. It's a shame to throw it away on a congress.
I hear Jones is going back to London. He didn't get his professorship in Toronto because of intrigues. In any event he is coming to Weimar.
In Zürich we are forging ahead with Dem. praecox, as will become apparent in this and the following Jahrbuch. Mythological parallels are of immense importance for Dem. pr.; I see more and more how useful my wanderings on the highways and byways of history have been. I am so looking forward to the time we shall have together. There are all sorts of things I want to show you. I hope, too, that you won't find it a bore to be present at the seminars along with Putnam, etc. We could have a very pleasant colloquy of considerable importance for the future of psychoanalysis.
Meanwhile with many kind regards,
Most sincerely yours, JUNG
