''Dear Doctor! / Thank you very much for your kind letter! I was interested in learning just what you were doing in London. I was very pleased that you were granted more time for the Gilgamesh, and also about your visit to the British Museum. The Assyro-Babylonian collection is magnificent.
I am not doing anything here, but I am thinking, or rather, thoughts are rolling around inside me that do not allow me to be in a holiday mood. The body is not doing too badly. The self is confronting me with tremendous problems. / All the best, and please give my regards to everybody I know. / Your devoted / C.G. Jung''.
