Description

The fifteenth piece of correspondence between G. Stanley Hall and Sigmund Freud. Freud, Carl Jung and Sándor Ferenczi write a farewell postcard to Hall following the conference and their subsequent time in Niagara Falls and at Putnam Camp with James J. Putnam in the Adirondacks. Jung also spoke at the 1909 conference, while Ferenczi joined Freud for the trip. The translation reads as follows:

"Three who are homeward bound bid you farewell with warmest thanks."

This translation is from Saul Rosenzweig's 1992 book Freud, Jung, and Hall the King-Maker: The Expedition to America (1909).

Clark University's 1909 conference was a celebration of the institution's twentieth anniversary. The conference is most notable for the participation of Sigmund Freud who, along with Carl Jung, would take their first and only trip to America to attend. The five lectures Freud gave, collectively titled “The Origin and Development of Psychoanalysis” and subsequently known in print as “Five Lectures on Psychoanalysis”, mark the formal introduction of his theories to the United States.
