Prof. Dr. Freud
Dear Dr. Binswanger,
I felt I should write to you today, having yesterday sent a psycho-therapeutic letter in Oppenheim-style1 to our patient. At the moment there is certainly no alternative to leaving him with you. Dr. G. has sent me a very sensible report on his brother.
For me, a visit to Constance at some point so as to get to know your new clinic and to see your father would undoubtedly be a great pleasure. Just now, however, there would have to be a very clearly expressed need by the party in question to make me agree.2 I cannot make the journey cheaply, and I know well that rich people are very suspicious and that one can only keep one's authority over thema by forgoing every opportunity to earn money.
Your Part I3 makes an excellent impression on the whole; I would add deservedly so. I should be glad to see the manuscript of Part II, even though you yourself have warned against it. Can the printer read your writing?4 Although if it is in block capitals like your last letter, I shall be able to as well.
Jung's visit5 was a great pleasure in more than one respect. I have since been to Venice for three days,6 but did not have much of a rest. We ought to work until it is impossible to carry on, and take no breaks on the way.
With kind regards,
Yours, Freud
