Dear Professor Freud,

I was very happy indeed to hear of your sister‑in‑law's recovery, both for her own sake and for its effect in setting free your travelling plans.  I hope you will now get all the rest you need at Karlsbad, so that you will be again fresh and eager by September.

I met your daughter yesterday,«FN1.××Anna Freud.

» judging that she had come via Hamburg, and found her looking very well, having greatly enjoyed the little voyage.  I saw her and her friend home, as they had to cover a complicated cross‑country route, with several changes of trains, etc.  She tells me that you have been shamefully overworking of late; I hope that next year you will show more restraint in your ardour for work, for it must be very exhausting.

Bleuler's letter seemed very satisfactory on the whole, and very characteristic; I have sent it to Abraham.  I shall look forward to the «MDUL»Traumdeutung«MDNM».  I have not read it since the last edition appeared, which is a long interval for me, and shall be glad of the opportunity of refreshing my memory on various matters as well as studying the additions.«FN1.××Freud (1900a), 4th ed. 1914.

Eder reacted badly to the "sharp spoon", thinking it "undignified, unworthy of you, ungenerous to the valuable work done by Jung", etc., which is a typical example of an affective judgement.  His tendency is altogether towards compromise in the matter, but he sympathizes with Jung on religious grounds and is in a curious anti‑semitic rebellion ‑‑ a muddle of personal complexes.

Rank tells me that Ferenczi will come to London, but I have not heard any further from the latter; he is not a ready letter‑writer and usually responds only to the second stimulus.

With very best wishes  Yours affectionately  Jones.
