Henri F. Ellenberger, M.D., Faculté des Sciences Sociales, Université de Montréal, has written us regarding errors that appeared on page 273, n. and page 291 in the article, Anna O—A Study of Her Later Life, by Ellen M. Jensen, This QUARTERLY, XXXIX, 1970. He writes: 'I have been surprised to read in the article [on Anna O] that I denied, or was not convinced of, the identity of Anna O. and Bertha Pappenheim. Quite on the contrary: as I wrote to Mrs. Jensen in a letter of May 25, 1966, I checked in the "Heimat-Rolle" in Vienna the date of Sigmund Pappenheim's death and found it identical with the death of Anna O.'s father, as mentioned by Breuer. Furthermore, the identity of Anna O. and Bertha Pappenheim was confirmed to me by members of both the Breuer and the Pappenheim families. What I question is not the identity of Anna O., but the details and chronology in Jones' account of her illness: the reasons are explained in my book, "The Discovery of the Unconscious" (N. Y. Basic Books, 1970) pp. 480-484.'
