Description

The seventh piece of correspondence between G. Stanley Hall and Sigmund Freud. Hall answers Freud's previous letter concerning travel coordination.

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.

This is only a partial copy of the letter - the following sign-off by Hall is absent from the available document:

"I am,
Very truly yours,
G. Stanley Hall"

Hall's sign-off is reproduced from Freud, Jung, and Hall the King-Maker: The Expedition to America (1909) by Saul Rosenzweig (1992).
