TLS in German, signed "Freud," one page, 5.75 x 8.5, personal letterhead, October 27, 1924. Brief 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." Impressively matted and framed with a portrait photo of Freud to an overall size of 22 x 17.5. In fine condition, with old tape stains to the front and back of the top edge.
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.
