Footnotes
An archive of autograph or typed letters signed by Jung and his followers Alice Lewisohn, C.A. Meier and Toni Wolff, together with volumes of Jung's lectures, mostly printed "strictly for the use of members of the Seminar", given in New York and Zurich from the 1920s-1940s.
In 1947 Walter Lewisohn, suffering from bouts of mental distress ("A great deal of trouble in my emotional life - something seems to have been killed in me...") travelled to Zurich to consult Jung as a patient, also seeing Toni Wolff ("She has been Jung's right hand woman for years... she's got a mind like a buzz-saw and is a heroic figure"), and Meier ("Am dining with the Meiers tonight and am off for a final session with Jung tomorrow morning. The fun is, you never know what is going to come up...", 9 May 1945).
Provenance: Walter Pickett Lewisohn, nephew of Alice Lewisohn (1883-1972, founder of the Neighborhood Playhouse, and member of Jung's inner circle in Zurich). After graduating from Harvard he joined several expeditions of exploration, including that of Admiral Byrd to Antarctica, later finding a career as a documentary film maker, and helped to set up the WIM museum on St Croix US Virgin Islands. His collection of Americas folk art and films is now housed at the Center for Southern Culture at the University of Mississippi; by descent to current owner.
