Dear Professor,
You have presumably already heard from Jung about his visit to Berlin.1 The result for me was that a few days ago I was called in as consultant to a case in the Kraus clinic. I hope that is the beginning of the outward progress of our cause here in the tough North! After Easter I shall try to teach the clinic doctors, privatissime, a little about Ψα. Some of them are certainly interested.
For the Congress in the autumn, after discussion with the members here, I have suggested Weimar, and I hope that you agree and Jung as well. It is favourably situated, that is, it can be reached from both Zurich and Vienna by direct express train without changing (Vienna—Aachen express without overnight journey). We in Berlin would have a slight advantage, it is true, but we would take over the arrangements. The town as such will be congenial for all. I can probably soon make inquiries about a venue for the meetings myself; as far as I know, everything we need is there. If we should make progress in Berlin in the near future, a place so convenient for North Germany could be especially recommended.
Meanwhile I visited Fliess, who referred a woman patient to me for analysis once again. He recommended both analysis and me to the patient in a very nice way. As yet, we have not discussed scientific matters again.
On Wednesday the 12th I am going on holiday for a short time; I am very much in need of rest, as the practice has made extreme demands on me in the last few months. I am going to Bad Schandau near Dresden; on 18 April the Berlin group is meeting in Dresden for a session at our colleague Stegmann's house. The members in Thuringia thus have the opportunity to participate.
I have not yet read Stekel's dream book, but even in advance I find it too voluminous in comparison with the work it is based on. But now I
