Dear Friends,
There is nothing of interest to report from here except disputes and
fights with American pirates, about which I have written directly to Professor
and to Rank. The new arrangement here with Miss Hulme seems to work very well
indeed and Hiller appears also to be pleased; the business side will certainly be
attended to far more efficiently than in the past, which ought to make a difference
to our receipts.Riggall read a paper on homosexuality and alcoholism before the Brit.
Psychol. Soc.. Nothing new.Berlin. Of course the election of Eitingon as secretary will be notified to Flügel?
It is good to communicate sometimes directly with him, else he may have the feeling
that it is only my affair to communicate with the continent.Budapest. Let me know if my letter of the 11th has not yet arrived and I will send
you another copy, though I don’t think there was anything in it of direct interest
to you.. This week came another batch of your translations from Dr Suttie. More
than two thirds are now completed, but as your book is Nr 10 in the Library series
it will be a couple of years before we can publish it. This will give you time
to write some more articles which can be added.Which reminds me that it might be of general interest to indicate the order
of the future volumes of the Library. Nr. 4, Jenseits; 5, my Essays in Applied Psa;
6, Massenpsychologie; 7, Abraham’s Collected Papers; 8, Roheim, Totemism; 9, Rank,
Dreams and Allied Topics; 10 Ferenczi, Second Volume of Contributions; 11 Professor’s

Krankengeschichten from the Sammlungen; 12, Reik, Religionspsychologie; 13, Winterstein,
Attic Tragedy; 14, Rank’s Mythological Works; 15, more of Professor’s Sammlungen;
16, Sadger, Perversions. It will be seen that our programme is enough to occupy
us for some time. The delay will be with the printing, for much of the MS lies ready
now.You ask about Pierce Clark. He is a good clinician and a pleasant man personally.
He has done much useful work on epilepsy, though McCurdy tells me he stole it from him.
His attitude towards Psa is ambivalent, partly owing to the difficulty of official people
in N.Y. associating themselves with the rather unfortunate crowd who are connected with
Psa, e.g. Jelliffe, Tannenbaum, etc. Also I believe that he does not get on with Brill.
Vienna. You have twice commented on the absence of cuttings in my letter. The explanation
is that they go, according to our arrangement, to Berlin and Budapest first, as Vienna
is the final repository (Museum).Eden Paul sent me Hug-Hellmuth’s letter, which I sent on to Mitchell with a
translation. He will probably publish it or a note on the Tagebuch in the Brit. Journal
of Psychol.I am very grateful to hear of the English works that being composed in Vienna
by reliable people. Brill wrote me also three months ago that he had some manuscripts
ready which he would send me in a few days, but three letters from me have not sufficed
to make them see the light of day. Do you know who is publishing his new book?With cordial greetings to all
From
Ernest Jones.
