Dear Professor Freud,               

First let me thank you very heartily for your exceedingly kind letter,«FN1.××Letter missing.» which I greatly appreciated having.  I am writing this a few minutes before leaving München for Zürich.  After two days there I go to London for a week, and then to Paris for six weeks with Marie at the Bicêtre.«FN1.××Pierre Marie (1853‑1940), pupil of Charcot, M. D. Paris 1883, French neurologist noted especially for work on the spinal cord.  In 1897 he established a neurological service at the Bicêtre in Paris, and in 1907 assumed the chair in pathological anatomy.

I don't know how much you know of the Gross affair.  He escaped from Burghölzli last week over the wall and came back here this week.  I saw him yesterday.  He seems to be much worse, quite paranoiac ‑‑ shut off from the outside world ‑‑ and has already started taking cocaine again.  He wants to provoke a lawsuit to prove the value of psycho‑analysis, to drag Kraepelin in and expose his ignorance before the world!!  He is extremely «MDUL»euphorisch und aufgeregt«MDNM» [agitated].  It is a bad business altogether.  I believe his wife is going to Graz next week.

Dr. Macfie Campbell«FN1.××Charles Macfie Campbell (1876‑1943),  M. B., Ch. B. 1902 Edinburgh.  Met Jones at Kraepelin's clinic.  Went on to hold posts at the Psychiatric Institute of the State of New York, Johns Hopkins University, and Harvard.» who wrote to you from London is here at the present.  He is the man who wrote a long and sympathetic review of Jung's «MDUL»Dementia Praecox«MDNM» book in the «MDUL»Review of Neurology and Psychiatry«MDNM»«FN1.××C. Macfie Campbell, [Review of Jung  (1907a)],  «MDUL»Review of Neurology and Psychiatry«MDNM», 5(1907):411‑420.

» of which he is subeditor.  He is just going to New York to take up an important position as Director of the Psychiatry Institute there.  He would be a good man to capture as an ally and he is very friendly inclined to all your work, though he has had no practical experience of it.

I send you my best greetings and thanks  Yours most sincerely  Ernest Jones.
