IX., Berggasse 19
My dear friends,
Please do not be angry that I did not answer Frau Ida's kind letter sooner. I am very annoyed, in fact furious, that you two are not feeling any better. Your papa, whom I saw on Wednesday, did speak of good news, but I know how reticent he and you are. On the whole I do not think it is nice of you to be living in Berlin, when you are
missed daily by the likes of us. Your answer will be that I am not the only one or the closest one who feels that way, but I am one nevertheless.
If the only reason for his not writing to me is that he has so much to catch up on now that he is well, I shall be content. If encouraged by a single line, I shall send off a manuscript full of the most beautiful, brand-new discoveries.2
Cordial greetings.
Your
F.
The original of this letter belonged to Fliess's son, Robert. I obtained it from the late Elenore Fliess, Robert's widow.
