Dear Friend,
Excuse my lateness due to the greatest demands in dreadful heat.
The hotel in Noordwijk was actually good, all the small meals ample: butter, cheese, drinks, etc., the longer ones, meat, vegetables, in the coarse Dutch style, basically unpalatable. Food in the big Huisterduin Hotel is said to be not good either. Our house was called Pension Noordzee, proprietor van Beelen.
I do not know much about Frau Dr Stegmann, can imagine that she has nothing. Very unpleasant to get mixed up with the divorce, as it has already been forced upon me!
You will already know by now that we are to meet in Munich on the day before the Congress (Saturday, 6 Sept., in the morning).—Jung is crazy, but I am not working for a separation, should like to let him reach rock bottom first. Perhaps my totem paper will hasten the breach against my will. You will of course receive the galleys as soon as I have them (from the middle of the month onwards). I shall be presenting it to the Society on Wednesday1; now I have grave doubts about it, the reaction after the enthusiasm.
Jones is off today for two months' analysis with Ferenczi. I enjoy the thought that your marriage shows that Ψα does not necessarily lead to divorce.2
Bleuler has nicely developed backwards. I suspect that the last motives were the Ψα papers on the synaesthesias,3 which raised tremendous resistance in him (see the Zeitschrift für Psychologie, last issue).4 A proof perhaps that Pfister and Hug are really right in this matter.
With cordial greetings to yourself and your dear wife,
