In a series of letters written by Sigmund Freud, in this case to his son-in-law, after Freud's daughter died.
"...ich bin froh, wenn ich mich durch Arbeit ablenken kann u Geld verdiene für uns alle. Auch heute werde ich nur von solchen kleinen Geschäften sprechen. Man erholt sich dabei. Des Lebens Notwendigkeiten u **des Dienstes ewig gleichgestellten Uhr** -es sind Wohltäter in der Trauer."
