295F
Salzburg, Hotel Bristol
22 July 1916
Dear Friend,
The address will tell you everything. After a short stay in Gastein, where we wanted to stay, we were repelled, and the four of us, my wife and I and my sister-in-law and daughter, came for a longer stay here,1 where we are at any rate uninhibited and free from food worries. It is very difficult to find accommodation in the country this year. There are a great many things that are missing, naturally, forest for instance, but who can now get all he wants? You will remember the hotel and the rooms; it is a kind of regression; this was where our first, so hopeful, Congress took place in the year 1908.
I received your letter of four weeks ago. Delayed replies call for no apology nowadays. If you are able to cross the border in August, we shall certainly not miss the chance of seeing each other again.
I am at present without news of either of my two sons; I have not heard from Martin, who is fighting the Russians somewhere, since the 11th; but from Ernst, who is still in the conquered Italian territory, I have not heard since 2 July. Perhaps our move has something to do with it, too. My son-in-law, with his wife and child, is now in the immediate neighbourhood of Marcinowski,2 who has been very kind to them.
Perhaps I shall manage to finish one or two things here. The Dutch translation of Everyday Life by Stärcke3 was forwarded to me yesterday.
Reik has just sent me a card from Trieste; he is with the medical service. We saw Rank in Vienna recently; he was happier than formerly because of certain private improvements, otherwise, naturally, unchanged. Sachs is on leave somewhere until the end of July with his beloved; about Eitingon I know only that he is in Miskolcz (Hungary). Lou still writes the most delightful, sympathetic letters. Jones has managed to get in touch again through Emden.4 Things are different with him, he has eleven analytic sessions daily, and has now bought himself a small car and a cottage just over 50 m
