Vienna, July 21, 18901
Dear friend:
My answer will be as brief as your letter. I have no interest whatsoever in the congress, nor do I intend to participate in it. But your invitation is the loveliest thing and the greatest honor that has happened to me in a long time. I very much look forward to seeing you again, to hearing what you are up to, and to rekindling my almost extinguished energy and scientific interests on yours, and I therefore accept and will write again to let you know when I shall come. You know my feelings and my respect for you; let us chat for a few days. If, however, it was your intention to offer me only lodgings while you yourself would remain devoted to your work, then inform me and I shall not come.
Cordially your
Sigm. Freud
