Dear Professor,
Just as I was about to write to you, the Mass Psychology arrived. I am looking forward to reading it for the second time during the next few days and for now only want to thank you very much indeed!
At the same time I am sending you the short manuscript on rescue phantasies. Rank has already received a copy. I prefer to send you a
copy before it goes to print, firstly, because I do not wish to introduce something as new when it may already have been said; and secondly, because I should like to know whether you agree with the contents. And since the paper is only a short one, I hope you will not be angry with me for sending it to you during your holidays. If anything that I assumed to be new is already contained in one of your papers, I would ask you to return the manuscript with a short remark. Otherwise, I should be grateful if you would briefly let me know that you agree!*
Furthermore, I have to thank you for the hint you gave me. I am sure the section in the Interpretation of Dreams that you mentioned is the one I had been looking for without success.
But I must remind you of the other question contained in my earlier letter, because you have not yet answered it. I asked you for a rough idea of when our meeting shall take place. Because of another journey I want to make beforehand, I ought to have the rough information in my hands already. If you could give me the approximate date of the rendezvous on the same postcard on which you reply to me about the article, I shall be very happy.
After having had patients only in the mornings for two to three weeks, I have recently reopened the whole business. Not very easy in this heat! But after the almost five-week-long journey to Merano in March, I cannot very well have another longish interruption at present, yet I am thinking of using the second half of September for it. In any case, the practice is very lucrative, and recently it has at the same time been particularly successful
