Binswanger wrote in his book (1956c, p. 9 in 1957 English edition) that he had ‘only a few recollections’ of this visit. He also gave the date wrongly as April. As can be seen from Freud's letter, the visit must have taken place on the weekend 17-18 May. This is also confirmed by Binswanger's letter of 30 March 1913 to Häberlin: ‘Freud is very much looking forward to the “pleasant company”. Question: Can you really not come to Vienna in mid-May? I have a congress in Breslau on 15-16 May, so it would actually be mad to go to Vienna before that instead of leaving it till May when I can go straight from Breslau! We would then meet in Vienna on the 17th (Saturday) and then see Freud together on the Sunday (18 May) after Whitsun, which falls on 11-12 May. However, you would be my guest from Basle rail station!’1 All Binswanger could report about this visit was what Häberlin recalled for him in his letter of 10 June 1954.2
