TLS in German, signed “Freud,” one page, 6 x 8.75, personal letterhead, October 27, 1924. Letter to Austrian psychoanalyst Paul Federn. In full (translated): “With this letter I ask you to bring all your opinions on the attached letter during the General Committee.” A dark block of toning and staple holes to upper left, and light overall wrinkling, otherwise fine condition. Federn became one of Freud’s earliest followers and most ardent supporters after reading his Interpretation of Dreams. After Freud was diagnosed with cancer of the jaw in 1923, he underwent surgery that deprived him of speech for weeks. Federn was appointed as his official representative, speaking at meetings of the Vienna Psychoanalytic Society on the great psychoanalyst’s behalf along with Anna Freud. A desirable letter closely associated with Freud’s work, highlighted by its bold, crisp signature. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
