Dear Friend,
Ungrudging congratulations on your well-earned convalescence leave! I hope your “hand luggage” (the two Glovers1) will not disturb you too much. Unfortunately I cannot think of coming to see you in the beautiful south. I am glad to be tolerably well, and able to mint money and work on the Mass Psychology.
Jul. Hering is a real persecution fanatic, whose chances are not good. He suffers from uncontrollable sexual excitement during the night, which is probably directed towards men. For me the beginnings of influencing him broke down when the money with which he should have paid me did not materialize. A bad case!
Recently I have quite frequently given your address to people who applied to me for treatment, including on one occasion, after a suggestion from America, to a lady in Königsberg. In this respect your absence from Berlin is an embarrassment to me. Otherwise I count on your handing on to others the cases you cannot deal with yourself.
With best wishes for weather and well being (alliteration!),
Yours,
Freud
