Dear Professor,
The Segantini manuscript goes off to you together with these lines. I send it to you with a request for your criticism that seems particularly necessary to me this time, as it is a piece of work with some personal complexes behind it. Besides, I would like to have your opinion about a question of layout: Would it be useful to include some of the main pictures, since they are not as generally known as some of the works of Böcklin1 and other modern painters? I would suggest one of the pictures pertaining to the mother-complex and one of the mystical ones (the wicked mothers). If you are in favour of illustrations, would you kindly discuss this with the publisher?
We had the pleasure of seeing Frl. Bernays twice in our home. I heard from her in more detail about the doings of you and your family. I hope that your patient is as well as one can be after so unpleasant an injury.
You will soon be receiving Frl. Dr Rosenthal's paper; I have spoken to her, and she is in perfect agreement with its publication in the , as the Schriften are probably too full up for the time being. So you could perhaps save yourself the trouble of reading it and pass the manuscript on direct to Stekel or Adler. Or I could send it direct. Our group is doing splendidly. The day before yesterday Stegmann spoke on asthma, and I spoke about a case of obsessional neurosis. Interest is constant. Next time Koerber is speaking on narcissism.
