Catalogue Note

A collection of letters from the founder of analytical psychology The group of typed letters are formal references, with Jung offering formal opinions and evaluations of his various students. 

The autograph letter is to Aniela Jaffé, a colleague of Jung's, and editor of his Memories, Dreams, Reflections (1962). Jung sets a far more intimate tone, writing: "[Martin] Buber responded again," Jung writes to Jaffé, "claiming that I deny the existence of God. It would be difficult for him to prove that. But I do not answer anymore. You should not waste time with stupidity."
