Dear Professor,
Your last letter is already six weeks old and still unanswered. You have now been in Karlsbad for a while—I hope with good results—and I may disturb your holiday peace with a few lines. Above all I am interested to know how you imagine a possible meeting in September. Are you perhaps coming to Berlin? I shall be there again about 21 August. Naturally a rendezvous somewhere else would suit me too, if it is not too far from Berlin. At any rate I am already looking forward to it very much. In view of this possibility of a discussion, I will not go into scientific matters today.
To my great joy, the new editions are succeeding each other at a rapid rate. […]1 at last the “Jokes” is among them too.2 I had been waiting for that for a long time. And first of all the quick success of Imago is a favourable sign. Shortly before I left, Ferenczi and Rank visited me.3 I got the latter to tell me things in more detail. He also brought me the Incest Motive.4 I have taken it with me on holiday. I cannot yet say much about it; only that it gives the impression of a mature work, and that it definitely will be of great service to the whole cause.
Shortly before I left, Ikhnaton went off, in a revised form, to the editorial office of . I am expecting the proofs here.
I am enjoying the peace to the full here. Since the short Christmas holidays I have done my ten hours of analysis a day. The practice has also become more lucrative. Up to now the months of 1912 have already brought me 11,000 M. But I will soon go for my first rise in fees. You see, even in Berlin it is no longer a martyrdom to be your follower.
With cordial greetings to you and your wife from my wife and me.
Your devoted
Abraham
