ABSTRACT

In May 2003, I purchased two postcards that Jung wrote to Ernest Jones in late 1913 (Figures 10.1 and 10.2). A week or two earlier, I had attended the New York Autograph Show. I had thought it might be fun to own an autograph of Jung. I had asked several dealers whether they had for sale any autographs of Jung, and a few had said yes. They had given me copies of their catalogs and had invited me to visit their offices so that I could inspect the autographs. I had identified myself as a Jungian psychoanalyst, and one dealer had informed me that his wife was a Freudian psychoanalyst. Later, I remembered his first name as “David.” I could not remember his last name.
