Dear Professor:

«IP4,0»I will write the obituary if you wish, but you will do it so much better that I would rather you did it.  I have an excellent photograph (have you a copy?), and wonder if it would be better to publish a short note now, and a fuller notice later with photograph, list of |×/ writings (not now available without writing to America), etc.?  At present what I can find is this: Born 1846.  Died aged 72 on Nov. 4/1918 of Morbus cordis in his sleep, well and at work the day before.  Teacher of Neurology in Harvard Medical School 1872.  Professor of Neurology Harvard University 1893‑1912.  Neurologist to Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, 1874‑19O9.  Good old New England Puritan family.  I have a list of 1OO works up to 19O5 (mostly on peripheral neuritis).  His fist article on |×/ was 19O6,«FN1.××Putnam (1906).» open‑minded but sceptical, and I think his real interest in it in a positive sense dated from meeting me, Dec. 19O8 ‑‑ when he was 62!«FN1.××Jones met Putnam for the first time when he paid a visit to Boston in February of 1909, see letter 7 and note 1 to letter 6.»

Loe is very well, but fiercely anti‑German!  She makes an exception in your case (and I suppose Rank's) but with no one else.  She has been very cruel to her sister Hortense Bubbing of Bonn, who has lost her husband, her only son, and «MDNM»all her money, on account of the latter favouring Germany.  She may go to America in September for six months.

Rank's plan differs from mine (sent to him 1O days ago) in wishing the English journal to be identical in contents with the German edition.  I doubt the advisability of this, but there are advantages in both plans, and such a momentous question should be decided in your presence, not at Davos.  You will find my views on the Swiss visit in an accompanying letter to Sachs.

I sent Sachs two copies of my book,«FN1.××Jones, «MDUL»Papers«MDNM», 2nd ed. 1918.» in the hope that the second one would find its way where I intended, as I am glad to hear it did.  I am honoured by the translations, and such translators.  I have had no access to Vienna experience and views of war shock, and shall be glad to learn from you if I guessed right in my chapter on it.  It is a historic article,«FN1.××Jones (1918a).» an index of the turning tide in England, as I was asked by the President of the Society to read it (last April) because of the importance of your work.  Were you amused by the paragraph on Jung in the preface?«FN1.××Jones speaks of Jung's abandonment of the principles of psychoanalysis as a reactionary gesture and of Jung's preference for mysticism versus science, see Jones, «MDUL»Papers«MDNM», 2nd ed., 1918, pp. vii‑viii.»

We intend to form a new society this month ‑‑ nearly 2O members.

It is good to hear regularly from you once more.

Yours always  Ernest Jones.
