1 July 1914  69 Portland Court  London W

Dear Professor Freud:

Two presents have arrived for which I thank you: the "historic" reprint, where the alterations interested me and the Goethe quotation amused me;«FN1.××The epitaph to Part III (Freud 1914d, p. 42) is taken from some verses of Goethe in his later years: "Am Jüngsten Tag ist's nur ein Furz."

» and the proofs of the Narzissmus article.  I will not say anything of this at present, for it is one of your "advanced" articles (like Ch. VII of the «MDUL»Traumdeutung«MDNM») that requires more than one reading.  We shall have a good «MDUL»Jahrbuch«MDNM» this time that will contrast with the last.

Ferenczi proposes to spend a month in London this summer, and I hope he will carry out the plan.

On Friday I go to Durham, to join in a symposium on "The Role of Repression in Forgetting" held by a joint meeting of the British Psychological Society, the Aristotelian Society, and the Mind Association.  I have already received the four papers to be read,«FN1.××For papers by T. H. Pear, A. Wolf, T. W. Mitchell, T. Loveday, on "The «MDUL»Rôle«MDNM» of Repression in Forgetting," see «MDUL»British Journal of Psychology«MDNM», 7(1914‑15):139‑165.

» and will send them to you later.  Three of them are very good, one being of a remarkably high order, though critical.  You will, I think, be surprised at their quality.

Our latest visitor here was Frink,«FN1.××Horace W. Frink (1883‑1935),  was analyzed by Freud after the war, and for a short time was considered by Freud and Jones as one of the most promising of the American psychoanalysts.  After leaving his wife for another women in the early 1920s, Frink succumbed to mental illness and his life ended tragically.  » the President of the N. Y. |×/ Society.  He intends coming over next May to be analyzed by you, Abraham, or myself!  He seems an honest fellow, but very limited.  He gave no special news of America, and seemed fairly satisfied with the N.×Y. group.

I heard lately from Abraham, and am eager to hear the result of his bomb, which, however, your reprint may render unnecessary; I suggested he should wait three or four weeks if possible, as Jung may again play into our hands.«FN1.××Along with Freud (1914d), Abraham's circular letter, which he prepared in his capacity as interim President of the International Psychoanalytic Association, was aimed at getting the Zurich Society to withdraw from the International (which they did on 10 July), see letters of July 1914 between Freud and Abraham (H. Abraham and E. Freud, 1965, pp. 181‑186).»

Three more people have gone to Jung from here, two of them for three weeks only!  Eder's wife, Dr. Nicholl ‑‑ a rather promising young fellow, but influenced by Dr. Constance Long ‑‑ and Miss Long's medical colleague, a woman.  Jung is staying at Miss Long's for a week this month, and she wanted our society to invite him to address us ‑‑ which of course I vetoed.  Bryan is a great help to me, as I cannot rely on Eder.  Bryan is our Vice‑President, and will become President in the case of my being made President of the Vereinigung, which matter is I suppose not yet decided.«FN1.××Had it not been for the advent of World War I Jones would likely have become President of the International Psychoanalytic Association in September of 1914.  »

I do not intend to go to the Bern congress, as I have a great deal of work to do here.  Patients still come, and I shall have seven hours analysis a day through the summer.

If it is as hot in Vienna as it is here at present, you will be especially glad to escape, though no doubt you will be glad enough in any case.  Your daughter comes to England this month, doesn't she?  I shall hope to have the opportunity of seeing her sometime.

You see I have not much news to add to my last letter, things being on the whole quiet just now.  I send you my best wishes for a fruitful and beneficial holiday, which I am sure you will enjoy.  Please do not forget to send me your Carlsbad address.

Yours always  Jones.
