JUNG (CARL GUSTAV)

Typed letter signed ("C.G. Jung"), in English, to Dr E.A. Bennet, thanking him for putting his side of the case ("...There is something in that London group I noticed already quite a while ago: a sort of unnatural prestige psychology. The way they handled the situation seems to me awfully immature and clumsy. I can't understand Fordham. The way you dealt with the situation seems to me entirely reasonable and adequate. May I keep the copies of the correspondence you sent me for a while? They might be useful in case of further discussions..."), and telling him that he has seen more of Dr Philp ("...I couldn't quite make out what his theological or psychological problems are..."), one page, headed paper, oblong 8vo, Küsnacht-Zürich, 23 June 1954
