Vienna, IX, Berggasse 19

My dear Frau Montessori
It gave me great pleasure to receive a letter from you. Since I have been preoccupied for years with the study of the
child's psyche, I am in deep sympathy with your humanitarian and understanding endeavors, and my daughter, who is an analytical pedagogue, considers herself one of your disciples.
I would be very pleased to sign my name beside yours on the appeal for the foundation of a little institute as planned by Frau Schaxel.1 The resistance my name may arouse among the public will have to be conquered by the brilliance that radiates from yours.
Yours very sincerely
Freud
Now Mrs. Willy Hoffer, psychoanalyst in London.
