Sir,
I hasten to correct some information I gave you during my stay in Paris. Mr. Koffka was indeed proposed for the chair of psychology at Mannheim, but it was Professor Lehr de Boun who was elected. Mr. Koffka therefore remains in Mannheim.
The congress of German psychology technicians, which was to take place in Würzburg on April 22nd of this year, was postponed for an indefinite period.
My book in Russian on "Psychotechnics" (research on the determination of professional aptitudes) is probably missing from the publishers. I would like to send you two short articles.
Enclosed is a list of Ms. Spranger's works, which may interest you, as well as the titles of some recent books.
Please accept, Sir and Ms. Prion, the expression of my highest consideration.
Franziska Baumgarten
