Dear Dr. Binswanger,
I am pleased that you felt able to accept my solutions and thank you, and particularly your wife, for your kind remarks and the renewal of your promise to visit me in Vienna. I have to answer your letter if only because you have asked for my views about the modification of the case history you have compiled. I entirely agree with you that these changes must not be too extensive and could be confined to a few points. It is quite true that the receptiveness of the beginners among the readers would be put to too hard a test and the appeal of the work reduced if you added, or rather included, the infantile element. What you already offer is enough. It also seems to me that your uncle, who has now given the work the clinical stamp of approval,1 should not be held responsible for more than he in fact witnessed. Perhaps it would be best, in a short addendum, to point the initiated towards the infantile nuclear problems. To that end you are welcome to make whatever use you choose of the material in my last letter.2
