ABSTRACT
In Brill's next letter to Mabel, written months before the publication of her new memoir, Movers and Shakers, he makes his first written invitation for her to stay with him in New York, an offer, not unprecedented for psychoanalysts at this time. He also asks her to welcome a friend of his to Taos, Isador Coriat, a Boston psychoanalyst who was among the first in America to view literature and art through the lens of psychoanalysis. Mabel's reply describes the arduous process of getting permissions from all those whose letters she planned to include in her new memoir, such as Hutchins Hapgood, Maurice Sterne, Marsden Hartley, Andrew Dasburg, and Leo Stein, as well as one letter each from Jelliffe and Brill. Movers and Shakers, the third volume of Intimate Memories, was published by Harcourt, Brace in the fall of 1936. Emboldened by her experience with analysis, Mabel then sought to convert others to her new beliefs, particularly Sterne.
