My dear Professor.

I thank you very much for your advise about the Unbewussten.  I am not sure whether I will write this article for Morton Prince's journal, though he is very anxious that I should do so.  I jut had a letter from him in which he tells me that he has written to you about the same subject.  He seems to entertain some resistences about our work which I think are mainly due to the fact that he knows but little about it.  The reason I am hesitating about writing the article mentioned is this: Jones, in our conversation, always implied that he had some arrangement with Prince to take charge of the same work.  When Prince asked me to do it I was very much surprised and I immediately wrote to Jones and Prince. Jones has not written to me for some time in fact I don't know whether he is here or in Europe and Prince states that he had absolutely no such agreement with Jones.  He says that Jones corresponded with Donnely - assistant editor - and as far as he understands Jones was to take charge of the German literature in general.  I am however still waiting to hear from Jones as I do not care to interfere with his

plans.  I wonder what happened to him, have you heard anything about his whereabouts?  I am very pleased to hear that you have gone over to Zürich for a few days.  It will certainly help to draw the bonds tighter.  I knew for some time that Jung was not quite contented.  In fact I could see this at the congress but I must say that his contentions were perfectly baseless.  I was more astonished when Jones showed me later a letter sent to him by Jung.  Your visit to Zürich ought certainly to rectify matters.  Jung is a person of moods; he was much affected by Abraham's paper he remarked to me that he considered it "plagiarism".  I really could not see why he has had that view.  Of course I write this for your own information.

I know Dr. Parker but I don't know what connection he has with Columbia, he is not in any way connected with the clinic else I would know it.  I am pleased that you refused his offer simply because I prefer to have your views spread from your own works.  As for me I am assiduously working and things look well.  The more I analyze the more I learn and become convinced of the truth of your teachings.  I have convinced some men in the profession that psychoanalysis can do something.  One of the assistants in our clinic gave me a case which he considered "some mental trouble" and quite hopeless.  The young man suffered for years, being unable to do any work.  After a few weeks work I removed all his symptoms and he is now happy and working.  It is a nice case of hysteria.  Now wishing you and your family a very happy New Year I remain

Sincerely Yours
A Brill
