"Here the pen fell out of the
writer's hand and wrote this
secret sign.  Please forgive, and
don't ask for an interpretation."

Translation:
Freud [Sigmund] wrote this letter to
Martha Bernays on August 9,
1882, in great agitation due
to unfounded jealousy.  The
request not at ask him for an
"interpretation" of the "secret
sign" is the first indication of
recognition that hidden
motivation might lie behind and
unconscious lapse, about twenty
years before the publication
of Freud's book The
Psychopathology of Everyday
Life.
