Dear Professor Freud,

«IP4,0»Well, Loe definitely left London last night, and will reach Vienna, via Holland, on Monday night or possibly Tuesday.  The parting was naturally an affective experience for both of us, but I do not doubt that we shall get over it, and then also it is not absolute, for we shall remain to some extent in touch (so far as that is possible with Loe's writing habits).  I am very concerned about her future, which does not seem to me to be at all soundly based internally, and am anxious to hear about her relations to yourself.  She will call on you, and no doubt reproach you, but if you were to meet her halfway I think she would give in and be manageable.

Our member who goes to Jung is a woman, Constance Long, a virgin of 4O, hence in any case not too hopeful.  The only Englishman I have hopes of enlisting on our side is Bryan of Leicester; you will hear more of him.  Last week I met Stanley Bligh,«FN1.××Stanley Bligh, S. P. M., B. A., was a member of the British Psychological Society.

» who visited you last year in Vienna.  I judge him to be a bright, active and interesting man, but uncritical through having an untrained and undisciplined mind.  He is enthusiastic and is a man of considerable wealth and influence, so he may be useful some time.  What was your impression of him?

The next point in your letter is your very kind offer about the photograph; for which I very cordially thank you.  It will be an event to look forward to with the keenest pleasure.

I answered Sach's letter about the Madonna Arbeit, thanking him and you for the motives whereby it is transferred to the «MDUL»Jahrbuch«MDNM».«FN1.××Jones (1914a).

»  It is of course indifferent to me whether it appears there or «MDUL»Imago«MDNM», except for one matter, on which I asked his opinion ‑‑ namely Heller could reproduce the difficult photograph that accompanies the essay better than Deuticke, having a larger page, better paper, and more skilled workmen.  This would not weigh against other considerations, but still is to be thought of.  Do we edit the second half of Band V, or is this published from material already with the printer from Jung, so that we start a new volume in 1914?«FN1.××Band VI of 1914 was the last issue of the «MDUL»Jahrbuch«MDNM».»

Sachs tells me that Jung is getting out a new journal at Deuticke's, which gives me the following thought.  We know Deuticke to be antagonistic in feeling, and be bound chiefly by money considerations.  With two competing journals it is in his power to favour one of them by various unconscious actions, choice of printer and proof‑reader, delays, etc..  We must be prepared beforehand for this.  Have you thought at all of the possibility of amicably transferring the «MDUL»Jahrbuch«MDNM» to Heller, which would have the advantages of a common subscription and advertisements of the three journals, mutual exchange of articles if necessary, etc..  By the way, won't Deuticke object on religious grounds to publishing my essay, just as he did with Storfer's brochure?«FN1.××A.

Scripture of New York,«FN1.××E. W. Scripture (b. 1864), M. D. Munich 1906, Ph.D. Leipzig; Associate in Psychiatry, Columbia University, and Director of the Research Laboratory, Vanderbilt Clinic, New York.» who helps the |×/ cause in about the same way that Stekel does, has just deserted his wife and children and run away with another woman.  The latest N. Y. scandal!

I will send you an account of our meeting next Thursday, which I am looking forward to with much interest.  How did Ferenczi's demonstration goe off in Vienna last week?«FN1.××Ferenczi gave a presentation at the Vienna Society entitled "Experiments with Thought‑Transference," 19 November 1913, as noted in «MDUL»Minutes«MDNM», 4:215.

With kindest regards  from  yours  Jones.
