2nd April 1924

Dear Friends,

There is very little news from here and our thoughts are now all
occupied with the Congress, the preparations for which seem to be going forward
very satisfactorily. The courses of lectures here finished this week and have
been an unqualified success. We shall certainly continue with them from now on.
Unfortunately there is no good news from the side of the Press, though I am
working hard to persuade various publishers to function. It is a situation we
must discuss when we meet.

VIENNA: Dr. Herford seems to have arranged with Sandor, her former analyst, to
undertake the translation of the „Entwicklungsziele“ to be submitted to the
Verlag. She asks me (l. Otto) to say a word in her recommendation. I have seen
something of her previous translations and can say that they are quite adequate,
though, of course, not so first-class as Mrs. Riviere’s or Strachey’s. If you
decide to use her translation, I should be glad to revise it if you wish.

Presumably this will be the last Rundbrief before we meet unless
anything urgent happens in the meantime. I conclude, therefore, with the
strongest wishes that our meeting will be in every way successful and pleasure-
able.

                  Yours,

                            Ernest
