Dear Doctor,
Many thanks for the good news from your circle, which is small but perhaps particularly distinguished by reason of its homogeneity and unity. In Zurich there really are difficulties, with Bleuler at their centre. They do not want to join the Society, and attend the meetings only as guests. I cannot envisage how this should work out at the next congress. Of course I am also not fully in the know. I hear from Jung that Binswanger, who is now the president, is standing by the dissidents.1
Hellpach's prattle was soon put in the shade by Hoche's profound performance.2 These are really valuable signs of the uneasiness in which our opponents are floundering. The reviews in the new will in all such cases be strictly unemotional, plain, and laconic, at least as far as my influence3 can reach.
The Jahrbuch is really behaving carelessly. The next issue of the Sammlung [Schriften] will be Pfister's study on Count Zinzendorf.4
About us personally I can say that all of us are already very tired of the city. As we have nothing as delightful as you have to look forward to in August, we are already longing for 15 July. But so far we have no idea where we shall turn to until 1 August, the day on which our lodgings in Noordwijk (near Leiden) will be ready. My bowels have improved, but there is no time for real well-being now.
If you write to me, go on using my address in Vienna until I can give you another.
I have received the first review of the Leonardo, Havelock Ellis in the Journal of Mental Science,5 friendly as always. It [Leonardo] pleases all our friends and will, I hope, disgust all outsiders.
In the year that is now ending,6 America stood out above all. Let us now seek some rest and refreshment against the hardship of the next.7
