Dear Professor Freud,

«IP4,0»I am very grieved at your bad news about Loe.  Although she naturally shows me her worst side, I always feared you were too hopeful, and am full of concern about her future.  She can be such a wonderful creature at times, that it is dreadfully sad.  However, I do not envy Herbert Jones if he marries her.

I meant to stay at the Regina, but last night I got a telegram from Loe, saying she had reserved a room at the pension, so I shall be there on Sunday morning.  I am greatly looking forward to my visit.

Yours ever sincerely  Jones.
