Dear Friend,
It is excellent that you should so soon have reached the utmost in your practice, but now turn the tables and start to defend yourself against the blessing. The first rule, if the flow continues, must be to increase your fees, and you must find time to work and rest. The answer to your question how I manage to write in addition to my practice is, simply, that I have to recuperate from Ψα by working, otherwise I do not endure it.
Your superb contributions to the 1 please me very much for the reader's sake, and I look forward with special personal excitement to the recently announced contribution on paranoia.2 It would, after all, be nice if we were right about this topic, and theoretically important. But the , which is a youngest and most favourite child for me, not least because of the editors,3 should not be neglected in any case. I am working with my last, or penultimate, ounce of strength on my article on taboo, which is to continue the horror of incest. In addition, I hope to have thrown analytic light on guilt-feelings and conscience, but this shall make its appearance only later.
I have no special experience of impotent fetishists. Your prognosis is quite probable; yet, each case is different. Masochists have given me poor results.
Kronfeld's work is now really stirring up opinions against us. I can find nothing in it but a laudable decent tone, the “logic” in it is not worth mentioning.
Could not Eitingon take patients off your hands to a greater extent? He has sent me a case on which he had begun incredibly correctly.
With cordial greetings to you and your dear house,
your faithfully devoted
