LOT #95

Sigmund Freud Letter
Signed Shortly After his Monumental Work
Ego & Id

 "It is true that visits still tire me very much...I have decided to resign from the leadership of the group..."

SIGMUND FREUD (1856-1939). Austrian psychiatrist, neurologist and founder of psychoanalysis. Fine Typed Letter Signed, "Freud", on his imprinted Prof. Dr. Freud Wien IX., Berggasse 19 stationery.

One full page, large octavo. Semmering, September 13, 1924. Very Fine condition.

To "Dear Doctor". Freud writes:

"It is true that visits still tire me very much, but your wish for a conversation concurs with mine, because I have decided to resign from the leadership of the group; I would like to hear your opinion about the consequences.
When should this conversation take place? The next week is completely unsuitable for me since my physicians are coming back, and I do not know of any day when I will be here or in Vienna; when I am in Vienna it is always difficult for me to be on time for the train for my return. But in 14 days we will move to Vienna and I suggest to you to plan your visit perhaps for one of the last days of this month. I am very happy about the success of your work in Stuttgart, and I send you my best regards. Yours, Freud".


In 1923, the same year his monumental work Ego and Id was published, Freud was stricken with cancer of the jaw. He underwent many treatments and saw many doctors, but his efforts at curing the disease were largely unsuccessful. Though the ailment caused him considerable pain and suffering, Freud continued to devote his time to writing and researching psychoanalytical studies.                                                                                  $3,750 – up
