3 August 1922
Dear Professor, we have been here for a fortnight and are thoroughly enjoying our stay in the mountains, in spite of very uncertain weather. Mountaineering, a passion that I had long ago been weaned from, has
taken hold of me again, and my son is proving a good companion on these excursions. I have not heard from you for a long time but hope you and yours are well. I am in lively contact with Jones and Eitingon, and yesterday revised the programme for the Congress. Could you not let me know what the “undisclosed” subject of your paper is going to be? I am starting to prepare my own paper2 today. With cordial greetings and good wishes for your holiday to all of you from all of us,
Yours,
Karl Abraham

In Berlin, at the last Psychoanalytic Congress Freud ever attended, he gave a short paper on Some Remarks on the Unconscious (1922f), foreshadowing the contents of The Ego and the Id. Abraham spoke about manic-depressive states (1922[81]). Ernest Jones was re-elected president of the IPA.
