Dear Professor,
When your lines about the Congress arrived, I had already received from Pfister a copy of the letter he sent you. Of course I immediately informed both Pfister and Oberholzer that I agreed that the Congress should be moved to Germany. Immediately after that I discussed the remaining points with Max. The Congress will now take place from 3
to 5 September in Bad Homburg, near Frankfurt. In a few days you will learn everything necessary from a circular letter. The administrators of the spa in H. are very interested in the Congress. Landauer and Frau Dr Happel in Frankfurt have taken on the local arrangements, and we have already been informed about the venues for the meetings, lodgings, etc. This was done in three days, whereas the fruitless dealings with the Swiss took two months; a convolution of letters developed, which cannot be read without a shake of the head1 and a smile. So everything is going beautifully. Very soon the preparations for the 2nd German meeting in Weimar (2nd half of April) shall also begin.
I should like to let you have some good news without waiting for the circular letter. In all my 17 years of work in Berlin, no medical society has ever asked me to speak on Ψα. I have now been invited, and have accepted the invitation, to speak to the Berlin Society for Gynaecology and Obstetrics on 13 March. Subject: “Ψα and Gynaecology”.2 If the paper meets with a favourable reception, this will have a very positive effect, since other specialist medical societies will follow suit, and then a first official recognition of Ψα in Germany will have been achieved.
Various other good news shall be told in the circular letter.
Now I want to say a few frank words about another matter. Sándor's article on sexual habits3 is to be the first in the new volume of the . As far as wealth of ideas is concerned, this is perhaps his most mature and best work, but I have grave doubts about its technical content. At
