Dear jones

On the eve of my departure for Bad Gastein 
(Villa Wassing) I got told if the massy 
of the first copy of which I am sending you 
by the means of Mr Strachey. He is 
bringing the English translation of the 
same with him an I beg you to be 
kind to him and is wife.  

I could only go through the first half of 
the translation, shortly before I broke off, 
the latter is the more difficult e. I 
found it absolutely correct, free of all 
misunderstandings an I hope the rest will 
prove the same. I am no judge of the style, 
it seemed to me plain and easy, your 
claims for elegance may be stronger 
than mine. In any case dont be too 
hard on him, it is not easy for us 
to get sfficient translators. Even 
miss H. whom you praise so much, 
could not avoid errors and serious 
misconceptions as Hiller and Anna 
pointed out to me. 

Str. and his wife might become very 
useful to you. They are exceptionally 
nice and cultured people though 
somewhat queer and after having 
gone through their analysis (which 
(what is not yet the case)  they may 
become serious analysts. Perhaps he 
is the man to assist you in editing 
the Journal and both would be 
fit to take  an active part

in the management of the Brunswick place. 
This is left to their further development, 
for the moment their conviction is 
not yet completely assured. I have to 
warn you that they are rather sensitive 
and critical. But they are not to be 
rebaked, they are good stuff.

I will write you more from Gastein and 
perhaps expect a letter of yours. the 
circular correspondence has coidently 
slam the private one. 

With kind love for you 
and your ladies
yours as ever
Freud
