My dear Professor

It was while studying the Traum-
deutung that I received your letter. 
Both my wife and I are very grate-
ful to you for your kind wishes. 
There is no mistake about the announce-
ment I am now a married man. I 
have not spoken of it because I did 
not think that it would interest you, 
hereafter however I shall be pleased 
to comply with your kind request.  Since 
writing to you last I have finished 
Dr. Jung’s book and found a 
publisher for it and am now 
working on your works. I was 
appointed assistant in the department 
of Neurology & psychiatry of Columbia Univ. 
where I am doing my best to spread

your doctrines. I made arrangements 
with the editor of the Journal of Nervous 
& mental Diseases to do some review-
ing for his journal and the first 
article reviewed is „Hysterische Phantasi-
en etc.“ I did more than review I 
also gave a brief account of our 
movement. I will send you a copy 
as soon as it will appear. I will 
be very pleased to review anything 
written by any of our followers. The 
editor of the Journal of N. & M. D. wishes 
me to translate the Drei Abhandlung-
en, he is willing to publish it. Quite 
a number of men including Prof. F. 
Peterson are anxious to have a 
translation of it. I have translated 
some of it and if you will be kind 
enough to give me your permission 
I can finish it within a few weeks.  
I shall now continue to translate 

3

your works and would ask 
you to please consider me as 
your sole  English translator. Your 
works are not known here 
because the great majority of 
Americans and English do not 
read German. Everybody here 
who knows anything about 
your work urges me to translate 
them. Quite some interest is taken 
now in dreams and Dr. Peterson 
thinks it very desirable to translate 
it and also the Psychopathologie 
des Alltagsleben. I looked them 
over with a view of finding out 
whether they lend themselves for 
translation and found that only 
a few examples here and there 
are untranslatable and this does

4

not in any way detract anything 
from their value. I am not quite 
settled I am here only temporarily 
I intend to live in Manhattan 
somewhere near the University. The 
cases which I see in the clinic are 
very interesting and give me a good 
chance to do some analysis. I am 
pleased to hear that you are now 
on your vacation I trust you’ll 
have a very pleasant time.

Thanking you again for your 
kind wishes I am with kind 
regards to your family 
Very cordially
