«IP7,0»18 July 1912  13 Princes St  Cavendish Sq  London

«IP0,0»Dear Professor Freud,

«IP4,0»I hope that you had a pleasant journey to Carlsbad, and are now enjoying your well‑earned rest and change from Vienna's noise and dust.  I travelled straight through to London, except for an hour's stay at Bonn where I had time to accompany my wife to her sister's house.  She stood the journey (21 hours in hot weather) excellently well, although we could get no «MDUL»Schlaf‑coupé«MDNM».  It is also the first time I have seen her pack and get ready so calmly and sensibly, without any «MDUL»Reisefieber«MDNM».«FN1.××i.e. without any agitation.»  I suggested it was the beginning of the |×/ success, but she preferred to attribute it to the journey being in the direction of London.  However when her sister asked her about the treatment, and about you personally, she was very enthusiastic and her attitude was one of great confidence.  It is the first sign of identification when someone will not allow a stranger to attack a cause, but reserves that pleasure for themself, just like when a man "runs down" his own country but resents a stranger doing it.  She comes on to London (without the dog) next Monday, but will only stay a week or so.  Then she returns to Holland for a month to visit various relatives and comes back to London early in September.

«IP4,0»I stay here till about Aug. 2O, then go to Wales and Partenkirchen (with Seif) for a week each, Zürich, and back to London on Sept. 1O.  I shall eagerly look forward to your visit about that time, and need hardly say that I will do everything to give you as good a time as possible.

I am enclosing a few literary excerpts of interest.  Will you kindly send them on to Stekel, that is, if you think them worth publishing.

My visit to Vienna will always be a memorable time in my life, in many respects.  It was for me equally instructive and enjoyable, and I am very grateful to all of you for the kindness with which I was treated.

I had a number of scientific problems to ask your opinion about, but what you had to tell me was always so much more interesting that they got put in the background.  Possibly I may have the opportunity of raising them in September, but at present I will give you some peace.

Please remember me kindly to your wife and those of your family who may be with you, also to Dr. Van Emden.  Last, and most important, let me again try to thank you for the load you are taking off my mind and all that you are doing for my wife's future health and happiness; you know what it means to us both better than I can explain.

With very warmest regards  Yours affectionately  Ernest Jones.
