Valeur estimée

Carl Jung (1875-1961)
Typed letter signed (‘C.G. Jung’) to W.Y. Evans-Wentz, Küsnacht-Zürich, 17 November 1938
In English. One page, 253 x 198mm, on headed paper; mounted with a portrait photograph of Carl Jung by Yousuf Karsh; framed and glazed. Provenance: Goodspeed’s Book Shop, Boston, 3 August 1966, n. 8120 (label on reverse of frame).

‘I can only do actual scientific work during my vacations’: Jung responds to a request for comments on his work. Jung writes to acknowledge safe receipt of atypewritten draft of Evans-Wentz’s book, adding adds ‘I will carefully plough through it and then … will try what I can do about it … As I’m still working as a medical man, I can only do actual scientific work during my vacations … I want to express my special gratitude to you that you trust me with such a task … few scholars in the world … would not be heavily prejudiced against psychology which deals with the unconscious mind’.

Walter Yeeling Evans-Wentz (1878-1965) was an American writer and anthropologist who specialised in the study of Tibetan Buddhism, and contributed to its transmission to the Western world, notably through his translation of The Tibetan Book of the Dead in 1927. The handsome photograph which accompanies the lot is one Yousuf Karsh’s Portraits of Greatness (1959).
