Dear Professor,
I am glad that we are not going to make politics for the time being. I find Jones's exposition most congenial. I hope we shall make good use of all our energies for creative purposes in the near future. Despite heavy pressure, I am looking forward to my work for the Jahrbuch and sincerely thank you for your kind remarks on this occasion. I always have the feeling that I cannot really do enough for our cause, since my
debt to you is too great in various respects. I feel this with every new stimulus I receive either from you or from Ψα, and the increasing success of my work evoke this thought no less again and again.
The agreement with Brugsch is very gratifying. Kraus really is worth our trust. For example, he has now succeeded in getting a Jewish woman doctor, an assistant in the clinic, the title of professor, the first in Germany. That means an important influence in our Faculty! Perhaps he will use it for me too.
It is not quite certain whether I shall be in Berlin on 28 December, as there are several other things happening around that date. Should I not be here, we would have to find another way. As soon as I know more definitely, I shall come back to it.
As with each of your communications, I welcomed Totem and Taboo1 with great pleasure. It looks very good in this edition and will certainly arouse wide interest. Many thanks!
I am returning Jones's letter and send cordial greetings from my wife and myself to you and your house,
Yours,
