by Sigmund Freud (1856 - 1939)
Translation © by Elaine Fine (b. 1959)

Lieber Herr Doktor
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Lieber Herr Doktor,

Manuskript angekommen, nicht beschimpfen, klug und keck wie immer.
Dem 'Narren' steht sein Gewand sehr gut.  Er wird viele Freude machen, 
viele ärgern. Ferenczi hat sich ausgebeten, ihn zu begrüßen.  Großer 
Neid ob Ihrer Waldfahrt, aber keine andere Zeit des Jahres? 

Herzliche Wünsche
  
Ihr Freud
