Baden Baden, 2.11.1922
Dear Professor,
The bearer of this letter, Herr Karl Kotthaus, Tegernsee, has made a collection of comparative physiognomy which seems to me worthy of the interest of the psychoanalyst. My judgment is however not impartial because the main idea that the appearance of the face as well as character and profession is determined by embryonic plasm is all too close to my own fantasies and because I have not had enough time to think about the question more thoroughly. Yet I am convinced that you will enjoy examining the pictures and am asking you to receive Herr Kotthaus if your time allows it at all.
With all best wishes
Your devoted disciple Groddeck
