3 The Jung Family Archive has one photograph of Jung with Fowler McCormick at the Ramakrishna Ashram in Belur. Another photograph taken at Boshi Sen’s residence on Bosepara Lane could not be located. Jung speaks of both photographs in his letter to Boshi Sen, written in February 1938. See Letters, Vol. 1: 1906–1950, selected and edited by Gerhard Adler in collaboration with Aniela Jaffé (Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 1992), p. 241. The photograph of Jung and Fowler is inscribed, “Kali-Heiligtum [sanctuary] u. Ashram des Ramakrishna/Calcutta 1937/8,” and is evidence of Jung’s visit to the Ramakrishna Ashram at Belur Math in 1938.

4 The Dartington Hall Trust Archive contains “extensive correspondence between Leonard and Dorothy Elmhirst, Tantine MacLeod, and others, with Dr. Boshi Sen, plant physiologist, and founder of the Vivekananda Laboratory in Calcutta, and later in Almora, India. Letters occasionally describe Sen’s visits to Carl Jung in Geneva; some letters are written by Gertrude Emerson Sen.” See http://dartington.org/archive/ and search for “Carl Jung.”

5Almora, located in the foothills of the Himalayas, was a sought-after cultural and spiritual destination in the 1930s. The Ramakrishna Mission Advaita Ashram, Uday Shankar’s cultural center, and Boshi’s residence and laboratory were all located there. Tagore also visited Almora during the thirties. Basiswar “Boshi” Sen is listed as an ordinary member of the Indian Science Congress in the Proceedings of the Twenty-fifth Indian Science Congress.

13 Barbara Hannah writes: “Jung always hated not being able to meet obligations he had undertaken. Therefore, he was, on the one hand, very embarrassed not to be able to attend all the celebrations for which he had been invited to India.
