PROF. BARRETT1 TO A. R. WALLACE
6 De Vesci Terrace, Kingstown, Co. Dublin. February 18, 1911.
My dear Wallace, — …Thank you very much for your kind letter and comments. I have modified somewhat the phraseology as regards the "subliminal self." I think we really agree but use different terms. There is a hidden directive power, which works in conjunction with, and is temporarily part of, our own conscious self; but it is [2] below the threshold of consciousness, or is a subliminal part of our self.
I should like to have come over to Broadstone expressly to ask your views on the parts you queried. For I have an immense faith in the soundness of your judgement, and in the accuracy of your views in the long run.
I should like also immensely to see you again and in your lovely home… — Yours ever sincerely, W. F. BARRETT.
