Dear Professor Freud,                

«IP4,0»Greetings from the right side of the Atlantic!  I hope to meet you in New York on Sept. 4 and go to Worcester to have the pleasure of listening to you.  My wife and I would be delighted if you could manage to pay Toronto a visit and stay with us there.  I have also asked Jung if he will come so far North, and expect to hear from him soon.  He is not here at the Congress.«FN1.××Sixth International Congress of Psychology, Geneva, 2‑7 August 1909.

There are a number of "Freudianers" here besides myself; Hart of London, Maeder of Zürich, Schwarzwald of Lausanne, [Assagliani]«FN1.××Crossed out in the original.» Assagioli of Florence (who is writing a thesis on psycho‑analysis for his doctorate)«FN1.××Roberto Assagioli (1888‑1975) of Florence, representing the Italian Society of Anthropology and Comparative Psychology, Circle of Philosophy of Florence, and the Library of Florence; his thesis, «MDUL»La Psicositesi«MDNM», Doctoral dissertation, University of Florence, 1910, was partially published in «MDUL»Psiche: Rivista di Studi Psicologici«MDNM», I:2 (1912).

» and Szecsi of Genf (formerly of Buda‑Pesta).  The last two have never met any Freudians and have learnt only from reading and applications.  The last named is a very clever young fellow, only 24.  He is reading a paper here, entitled "Psychische Compensation"«FN1.××See Stephan Szecsi, "Psychische Kompensation als Übergang vom Normalen ins Pathologische," which is contained in the proceedings of the Congress, Edouard Claparède, ed.,  «MDUL»VIe Congrès International de Psychologie, 1909, Rapports et Comptes‑Rendus«MDNM» (Geneva: Kündig, 1910, pp. 792‑796).  For Jones's contribution, see Jones (1910g).  Hart, Maeder, Schwarzwald, and Assagioli did not present  papers at the Congress.

I am looking forward to seeing you.
