Dear Professor,
My most sincere thanks for letting me know with such warm congratulations about the publication of my book. You know best how much of the book stems from ideas that you had started working on. I may say that, as I wrote each separate paper over all these years, I wanted to make my readers aware of my gratitude and devotion towards you. And because I thought that these sentiments were clearly enough recognizable, I omitted dedicating the book as a whole to you. Rank will present you with a copy on my behalf for, due to the trouble with exporting, I would not be able to send it from here in any case. I know no better way to heed the encouraging “CC” on your card than by unadulterated loyal participation in our common work.
I shall get in touch with Deuticke about Dreams and Myths as soon as I have a more precise idea about the amount of revision it will require.
My wife was particularly pleased with the letter she received from you some time ago and sends her belated thanks. It is virtually impossible to separate the children from their bicycles; if you have ever made anyone happy, dear Professor, you definitely have succeeded here!
With kindest regards from house to house,
Yours,
Karl Abraham
