15 December 1918
Dear Professor,
Your letter of 2 December has had a lengthy journey. Before taking up all its other contents, I should like to express the hope that your son Martin has in fact suffered no worse fate than being taken prisoner with his unit. Perhaps you will have had news of him meanwhile, or at least have found out more about the whereabouts of his regiment.
Now, my thanks for your award for my 1916 paper! I had not expected, as one of the older men, to be considered at all. But as it was, compared with the older ones, the younger colleagues were in fact less able to produce any scientific work during the war. Apart from your own work, there have been very few contributions to clinical Ψα during these years. The sum of money, though it has little value in these times, will be used for a long-postponed wish-fulfilment—a visit to Vienna—as soon as circumstances permit. I shall write to Simmel today. The money has already been confirmed by my Berlin bank. I shall pass half of it on to Simmel as soon as I have his present address.
