ALS in German, signed “Freud,” one page, 8.75 x 11.25, personal letterhead, July 27, 1927. Written from Semmering, Austria, to American economist and statistician Carl Snyder, in full (translated): "I also remember with great pleasure our meeting in Gastein. It is nice that your letter now creates a continuation of this relation. I am very happy to hear that a series of personal and material influences have kindled anew your interest in psychoanalysis. Certainly you would do wrong in assuming it is already completed. Even today, it is not completed; it grows slowly like any other uncertain science; of course, any additions will be performed by others than myself. I would very much like to see you again at the Congress in Innsbruck but my in more than one place defected health makes this trip impossible. Hearty greetings across the miles." Mounted and framed to an overall size of 12 x 15.25. In very good condition, with scattered small stains, overall creasing, and a rusty paperclip impression to the bottom edge. The frame being well loved.
The "Congress in Innsbruck" Freud was unable to attend was the tenth International Psychoanalytical Association Congress (IPA). The first was held in Salzburg in April 1908 and it wasn't until the second meeting that the IPA itself was officially formed. Carl Jung was instrumental in the initial development of the congress and became the IPA's first President. He named the 1908 meeting the "First Congress for Freudian Psychology." Freud welcomed the idea and considered the creation of an international psychoanalytical organisation essential to the advancement of his ideas.
