The pleasure afforded to me by your letter is enormous yet almost painful. How greatly things have changed since we saw each other last – and not always for the better. I, for my part, have been recalling the moment you told me that to be called my pupil isn’t tantamount to martyrdom. See more

Dear Mr Professor, I imagine that you have been been back from Vienna for a few weeks now. A young doctor has recently begun working in my clinic who expresses a great interest in psychoanalysis. To my great delight I have learnt that there are many young doctors who are interested in our work, and that those with a keen interest in psychiatry are applying to work at my clinic. The third part of your lectures is simply wonderful. I think it is the best possible introductory course for our new adepts (although I think those already familiar with the subject will take more from the “lectures” than newcomers).
