Dear Professor,

«IP4,0»I have not heard from you since leaving Vienna, but I suppose you rely on Rank and me to exchange the news; doubtless he shews you my letters.

Forsyth is back, deeply impressed with your technique and the excellence of your English.  I am sure you found him a faithful analyst, and consolidated his devotion.  He tells me that Rank should be in Holland, so I wired to him that though so far the government here had refused a permit we are still making efforts.  I may go to Holland if he can't come here, though practice is a great tie just now.  Loe is doing everything for him there, and would cross to meet him if Herbert were not ill (which may prevent their going to America).  She has quite turned round, and is most «MDUL»entgegenkommend«MDNM» [accommodating] to Vienna, telephoning to me twice a week for news.

An American dentist, Dr. Bieber, came to me from N.×Y., a case of obsessional jealousy, but as he had come so far I thought he could travel to Vienna ‑‑ hence my telegram to you today.«FN1.××Telegram missing.»  He can pay five dollars a time, which is very moderate for American fees.  I have had letters from Abraham and Eitingon, but no word from Brill in reply to my famous letter sent eight weeks ago, and no article.  Have you heard from him?

Rank asks me to give you my views about Abraham's suggestion ‑‑ which he only just mentions ‑‑ of a congress in Berlin in the spring.  I am quite opposed to the date, for no Americans at all could be present then (and few English) ‑‑ which would greatly harm us after our recent autocratic action in their name.  The tendency to dissociation there is so marked that it would be mad to offend them gratuitously.  I am also doubtful about the place, as against a neutral country, and fear it is another instance of German lack of contact with outside opinion.

Practice here is extraordinary.  I have 1O patients a day, and every week send several to other doctors (this week one who came specially from Palestine and one from Baluchistan).  I hope the path to Vienna will soon open up now, but it is still difficult for Englishmen.

I dare not ask about the conditions in Vienna, and can only hope with all my heart for the best.  I should be very very glad to hear from you.

Yours always affectionately  Ernest Jones.

«MDUL»P.S.«MDNM»  The married life is a wonderful and complete success.
