Dear Friend,
As today is Wednesday, I shall not be free to study your paper in the evening, but I have skimmed through it and seen that it would deserve a civic crown if such distinctions existed in science! It is, in short, excellent, cold steel, clean, clear, and sharp. Moreover, God knows that it is all true. I shall pass it on to Rank and Sachs and, if a comment could be fitted in somewhere, I shall give you suggestions for it. You cannot imagine what pleasure the co-operation of five such people1 gives me.
It makes no difference to me whether I stop in Berlin on the way there or the way back, it can also be left undecided until a few days beforehand. Provisionally this is the plan: I shall arrive at 8:08 in the morning of Thursday 25th, go into the hotel only to make myself human, will already be with you for breakfast, and stay until the afternoon train at 3 o'clock (7 o'clock in Hamburg). I shall bring the plan of the first volume of the Jahrbuch with me.
My cordial greetings to your wife and children, whom I shall thus soon be seeing.
Your faithfully devoted
Freud
The Secret Committee.
