Typed Letter Signed by American Experimental Psychologist Joseph Jastrow.
Madison, WI: May 18, 1921. 1921. - Single-spaced typed letter filling the rectos of two 11 inch high by 8-1/2 wide sheets of cream-colored note paper. Signed "Joseph Jastrow".

There is a chip out of the top right corner of each sheet with a small piece out where the recipient's reply had been detached. Together with a carbon copy of the reply. Good.

Jastrow writes at length to James B. Pond of the Pond Lecture Bureau in New York City, explaining that his post at the University of Wisconsin, Madison limits the number of lectures he can give, and asking if a limited lecture schedule would earn him enough to make the time and travel worth his while. "During the time that there was such a strong interest in questions of spirit belief, I was receiving from seventy five to one hundred dollars for these special lectures. I find that in most cases the fees have been about fifty or sixty dollars, and as I have already indicated for some of the briefer talks, somewhat less.."

Joseph Jastrow [1863-1944] was a Polish-born American psychologist noted for inventions in experimental psychology, design of experiments and psychophysics. He also worked on the phenomena of optical illusions and discovered or popularized a number of well-known illusions. He was a founding member of the American Society for Psychical Research for study of the "mesmeric, psychical and spiritual". By 1890 he had resigned from the society and became an outspoken critic of parapsychology. His book "Fact and Fable in Psychology' [1900] debunked claims of occultism, including Spiritualism, Theosophy and Christian Science. One of his goals was to use the the scientific method to separate truth from error and to educate the layperson, which he did through speaking tours, popular print media and radio. Good .

Karpman writes to Freudian psychiatrist and expert in criminology Dr. Arthur Foxe entreating him to write an article for the Archives and also to contribute a guest editorial. "The time has come the walrus said, to talk of many things, etc. etc. And why does Arthur Foxe sit on his touchus and contribute nothing to the advancement of the psychodynamics of criminality? You can't live on one article. So will you please sit down and do two things for me? First work on a good case with all the details that you can give me, with all the dreams that you can get, something on the style of 'The Psychoanalysis of a Sodomist' which you published years ago in the American Journal of Orthopsychiatry.. Additionally I want you to write a Guest Editorial.."

Mezer, Robert R. Massachusetts psychiatrist who examined Albert DeSalvo ("The Boston Strangler"), obtaining his confession.
Two Typed Letters to Psychiatrist and Criminologist Dr. Arthur N. Foxe Signed by Psychiatrist Robert R. Mezer.
Boston, MA: August 26 and Septembeer 27, 1957. 1957. - Both letters are typed on the cream-colored letterhead, 11 inches high by 8-1/2 inches wide, of "The Commonwealth of Massachusetts / Department of Mental Heath / Division of Legal Medicine". The August letter fills one side of the letterhead and is signed "Robert R. Mezer, M.D" with his typed title "Clinical Director / Parole Clinic and Norfolk Treatment Center". The September letter fills one side of the letterhead with 2 paragraphs on a follow-up sheet and is signed "Robert R. Mezer, M.D." without the typed title. The top corners of both letters are lightly creased with the right corners slightly darkened and both are folded twice for mailing. Together with the September mailing envelope. Very good.

Two splendidly detailed and discursive letters from one psychiatrist to another. Dr. Mezer writes to Dr. Foxe in August 1957 after reading Foxe's book "Studies in Criminology". Mezer explains that the Division of Legal Medicine offering psychiatric services to prisoners and parolees has only recently been established and he asks many questions about Foxe's experience of treating patients in a prison setting. He plans also to read Foxe's book "Crime and Sexual Development".

Mezer writes his second letter in September 1957 after Foxe has sent him copies of "Crime and Sexual Development" and "The Life and Death Instincts". He muses at length about Foxe's ideas: "I found myself wondering if some of the conclusions were on the basis of the associations of your patients or on the basis of your own interpretations and formulations. For example, why is robbery with a gun late anal rather than phallic, that is, might not the gun be a phallic symbol?. Another example might be seeing the car as a female symbol instead of as symbolic of intercourse. This is not said in any critical light, as our limited case material to date tends to confirm the primitive pre-genitality you describe.."

Mezer, author of "Dynamic Psychiatry in Simple Terms" [1960] examined Albert DeSalvo ["The Boston Strangler"] at the request of F. Lee Bailey. Mezer shocked the courtroom by reporting. "DeSalvo told me he was the strangler..He told me he strangled 13 women..and he went into details of some of them, telling me some of the most intimate acts he committed."

A psychiatrist and criminologist, Dr. Foxe was also an avid collector of skating books and even published a skating bibliography. Very good.
