Dear Professor,
A few days ago I was visited by a lady from Warsaw whose brother, Julius Hering, was treated by you at the end of 1919. Apparently he had
a psychosis, which improved under Ψα. It seems that on the way home he had an acute relapse. H. has been in a lunatic asylum in Warsaw for a year. The family would like to bring him to Berlin, to let him continue his treatment with me. There has evidently been a remission, but he still has a fixed persecution mania.
In such circumstances I naturally have great misgivings, especially as H. would have to be in a sanatorium here and would need someone to accompany him in order to come to me. I have asked for a report from the doctor treating him at present, which is to be sent to me to Merano, and I would be very grateful to you, dear Professor, for a very short expression of opinion (to Merano).
I am leaving with my wife on the evening of 2 March; we shall be in M. (Park Hotel) on the 4th. Should you by any chance be travelling southwards over Easter … but that would be too lovely. We should like then to go to Verona—Venice for a few days. With kindest regards from house to house.
Yours,
Karl Abraham
