Abstract

Those of us who do analytical work with personal letters soon become aware of the problem of being tempted to take for granted that what is written in them is a true account of the author’s condition or intentions. It is not only that in the individual case we become suspicious of a particular letter-writer’s motives and accounts. A moment’s reflection tells an experienced adult who reads other people’s personal letters that there is more going on than appears on the surface of the text, precisely because this is true in our own lives.
