Prof. Dr. Freud
Dear Dr. Binswanger,
I know of no possible reason why I should be cross.1 My silence was due to over-preoccupation with the latest business.
The Council of Munich2 passed off splendidly, thanks to the great affability of our colleagues, those from Zurich included. The new journal will be a replacement for the Zentralblatt in every way.
Jung was very pleasant, and in one hour of private conversation with him I was able to convince him that there was scant justification for his complaint against me. The ‘Kreuzlingen gesture’3 which he had been blaming me for turned out to be based on an incredible symptomatic action on his part, which would produce good material verbally. I think everything will be all right now. The theoretical differences remain only until they can be cleared up by discussions in papers and at the Congress.
I am indeed absolutely delighted to have exchanged Stekel for the Zurich contingent, but am still very tired from the exertions of the past weeks.
With kind regards and in the hope of hearing from you soon,
Yours ever, Freud
