The Jahrbuch affair is a private matter to be settled between myself and Freud.

To Alphonse Maeder
Dear Colleague, 29 October 1913
The Jahrbuch affair is a private matter to be settled between myself and Freud.
If the Zurich people are also affected by it, then it is very painful for me.
As you can well imagine, I am not giving up the Jahrbuch for fun but because it is impossible to collaborate with Freud’s attitude.
I still have no news from Vienna.
But I shall take care to create for the Zurich people a new organ in the style of the Jahrbuch, perhaps called “Psychologische Untersuchungen. Works of the Zurich School of Psychoanalysis.”
In the event, Deuticke is ready to accept it.
If our Works are dropped from the Jahrbuch, maybe the Jahrbuch will pack up too.
I have by no means walked into Freud’s trap, for I consider it of no advantage to Freud to have sickened me off. ·
A committee of inquiry is out of the question, because the Jahrbuch is not after all run by a club and I won’t collaborate with Freud any longer.
It will make a very bad impression all round.
But inner successes count more with me than the howling of the mob.
I shall soon be able to give you news of Deuticke and Fre\eud, if the latter does not deem it beneath his papal dignity to answer me.
Yours sincerely,
JUNG ~Carl Jung, Letters Vol. 1, Page 28

To Ernest Jones
Dear Jones, 22 February 1952
Freud’s letters in my possession are not particularly important.
They chiefly contain remarks about publishers or the organization of the Psychoanalytical Society.
And some others are too personal.
As a matter of fact I don’t care for their publication.
On the whole they wouldn’t be an important contribution to Freud’s biography.
My personal recollections on the other hand are a chapter for itself.
They have very much to do with Freud’s psychology, but since there is no witness except myself I prefer to refrain from unsubstantiated
tales about the dead.
Hoping you will understand my motives,
I remain,
Very truly yours,

Sigmund Freud/Oskar Pfister Letters
Your name has often been mentioned to me by our common friend C. G. Jung, and I am glad now to be able to associate a more definite idea with it; and I hope you will not keep your future work from me. ~Sigmund Fr-ud, Fr-ud/Pfister Letters, Page 15
It is certainly not the least of our friend Jung’s services that he has become the source of stimuli such as impelled you to your work. ~Sigmund Fr-ud, Fr-ud/Pfister Letters, Page 17
Jung left yesterday evening, but I obviously had no complaints about you to make to him, because all you have done is what he and I myself have done, that is to say, published material according to the state of your knowledge at the time and modified it later in accordance with the progress of your knowledge. ~Sigmund Fr-ud, Freud/Pfister Letters, Page 22
But for your visit and your influence I should never have managed it; my own father complex, as Jung would call it, that is to say, the need to correct my father, would never have permitted it. ~Sigmund Freud, Fr-ud/Pfister Letters, Page 24
You too must have been impressed by the great news that Jung is coming with me to Worcester.’ It changes my whole feeling about the trip and makes it important. I am very curious to see what will come of it all. ~Sigmund Fr-ud, Freud/Pfister Letters, Page 25
In Jung’s opinion sister complexes play a part in the hostility of his pupil Erismann. ~Sigmund Fr-ud, Freud/Pfister Letters, Page 26-27
The reason I write to you about family matters is that no visitor since Jung has so much impressed the children and done me so much good. ~Sigmund Fr-ud, Fr-ud/Pfister Letters, Page 27
Perhaps contact with Jung and Ferenczi (he too is one of the best) will stimulate something. Fortunately I am no longer so necessary and can gradually shrink into an ornament; perhaps there is a bit of providence in that. I send you my sincere greetings before the journey, and hope during it to hear a great deal about you from Jung. ~Sigmund Fr-ud, Fr-ud/Pfister Letters, Page 29
What I should like would be to win over more such people as yourself, Jung (one must not continue ‘and others of the same sort’), but there are not very many. ~Sigmund Fr-ud, Fr-ud/Pfister Letters, Page 29
I shall not tell you any more about America, as you have heard it all from Jung, or will. ~Sigmund Fr-ud, Fr-ud/Pfister Letters, Page 30
I still have not got over your not coming to Nuremberg. Bleuler is not coming either, and Jung is in America, so that I am trembling about his return. What will happen if my Zurichers desert me? ~Sigmund Fr=ud, Fr-ud/Pfister Letters, Page 35
