Carl Jung: Or should Ferenczi take up the polemic?"

Dear Professor Freud, 13 November 1911

I am writing a few words in haste.

Enclosed is a paper by Bleuler, inflammatory abstinence stuff which he wants to put in the Jahrbuch in reply 'to Ferenczi."

It also contains some completely false statements quite apart from the usual fanatic bellowings.

Do you feel like adding a few words?

Or should Ferenczi take up the polemic?"

It is not to my taste to have such things in the Jahrbuch, Perhaps you might be able to persuade Bleuler to withdraw certain statements his criticism really does go too far.

Most sincerely yours,
