Vienna IX, Berggasse 19
22 April 1920
Dear Friend,
I answer your letter of the 4th inst. only today because in these last weeks my pleasure for work and writing has been unusually disturbed. I too cannot get over the disappointment about Easter. It would have been so delightful to see you all together for once and to reinforce the harmony between you that guarantees the future of our cause.
My wife came through Berlin on 19 April. If she did not see you, she must surely have been very much in demand. She will probably stay in Berlin longer for Ernst's wedding.
The holidays, for which I have a large work project in mind, will probably be in Gastein to begin with.1 There are still nearly three months to go, and already I do not like to work any more.
All the difficulties of life here make one feel very blunted. But even in Vienna interest in Ψα has grown livelier. I have reopened communication with Havelock Ellis.2 There would be a great many things of interest to discuss, let us hope we shall be able to catch up.
I send my cordial greetings to you and yours, and my lively regrets that I hear from you so seldom, certainly partly through my own fault.
Your faithfully devoted,
Freud
