Dear Professor Freud,
I felt greatly relieved when I heard that you had arrived safely in England. My thoughts, which in any case are never far from you, have been with you particularly often of late. I never doubted that you would face the changing times and even harassment with psychoanalytic calm, but I was nevertheless worried, knowing of your precarious situation.
I should be very pleased to hear, from anyone in your company, whether your wife, your daughter and your sister-in-law are with you in England and how you have settled down there. My kind regards to all your family including your sons.
As for us, I can only say that my family and I are very well, and that I have too much rather than too little work.
Though Germany has presently ceased sending us patients almost entirely and though Spain must, of course, be forgotten for the time being, the cases that nowadays come to a clinic like ours make particularly heavy work. However, I continue to steal from my practical duties the time I need for scientific study.
These lines are only to let you know that I think of you in cordial friendship and in gratitude,
Yours, [L. Binswanger]
P.S. Many kind regards to Ernest Jones.
