November 21th. 1921

Dear Friends:

All letters safely arrived. Flügel’s book has come at last, and I have asked 
Róheim to review it. Books on Psa or allied topics pour out in England and you will 
see reviews of them in the J. in course of time. This week two excellent ones 
appeared by two of our Associate Members, Mitchell and Brierley. The one by Mitchell 
contains perhaps the best account of the consciousness problem and the nature of the 
unconscious that exists in any book of the kind. At the last meeting of the Society 
I read an account of Professor’s new reviews on projection and paranoia, which found 
good comprehension. I am very pleased by the progress made by our members in both 
theory and practice. It has been very great and the couple of years taken in educat-
ion has not been wasted. Even on the productive side there are signs of greater act-
ivity. Last week papers were read, by Dr Cole before a Literary Society in a London 
suburb (150 audience) and by Flügel at Leicester.

Miss Saxby (analysed by Rank), who is Lecturer at the University, Cardiff, held a 
meeting with the Welsh Porth group last week and they con- stituted themselves into a 
regular Society meeting every week at Cardiff, full of enthusiasm.

Berlin. Many thanks for the cuttings from the N.Y. Medical Journal. We exchange with 
the J, for the editor is very friendly to Psa and gives us good reviews.

Vienna. Both Zeitschriften arrived today. Could you recommend the Madrid firm to 
employ the Chilean physician for translation, as this would be done much better by 
someone with knowledge of the subject? I know Walter Liepman’s work; he is an able 

and original fellow, though his political views deprive him of much influence in 
America. Please send Lou Salomé’s address in Göttingen. Will you speak to Hiller 
about Harcourt, for he is just seeking an American agent for our books.

I should be glad to see a copy of the Sadger book. Rickman wrote to me offering to 
translate it, and promising to send me soon a specimen sam- ple, so I think he should 
have first rights for the translation. It depends, however, on how large the book is, 
for Rickman’s German is very weak and he would probably take a very long time, being 
overconscientious. In that case he might be more profitably employed otherwise. 
I could only decide after seeing the book and perhaps communicating with Rickman. 
If, for some reason of which I do not know, there is great haste in the matter 
then I beg Professor to consider the question and decide. It is obvious that it will 
be several years before we can print the translation. The Jenseits has been at the 
printer for five or six months now and so far one single Bogen is ready. Then 
follows five or six books by Professor, one each by Abraham, Ferenczi and myself,
 and two by Rank, not to mention others.

I was sorry that my remark in the Rundbrief was reposted to Rickman, for now 
we must in any case appoint him as assistant editor or else of- fend him. I had only 
meant the remark in a most tentative manner, a year ahead of the actual question.

However in the long run it will probably work out all right. 

With cordial greetings to all from

Ernest Jones.
