Putnam (Harvard, M.D. 1870) studied in Europe
under Rokitansky and Meynert and became friends with Huylings
Jackson. Returning to Boston, he was the first lecturer on
nervous diseases ever appointed at the Harvard Medical
School; the Department of Neurology was begun with his
classes in 1872. That year he also started one of the first
neurological clinics in the U.S., at Massachusetts General
Hospital, and also established in his own house a
neuropathological laboratory. Putnam's interests were wide,
and his published papers covered such subjects as
psychoneuroses and organic diseases of the nervous system, as
well as broader aspects of neurology. He was one of the
earliest proponents of psychoanalysis in America.
Papers contain chiefly incoming letters, from
colleagues, friends, family members, and patients, as well as
a few copies of letters written by Putnam; several letters
belonging to his wife Marian Cabot Putnam; and manuscripts
and documents of Putnam. His major correspondents include
Ernest Jones, Susan E. Blow, William James, Edward Waldo
Emerson, and Henry Pickering Bowditch. Other individuals
represented in the papers include Elmer Ernest Southard,
Edward Cowles, Sándor Ferenczi, Henry James, Morton Prince,
Henry A. Christian, Lucy Washburn, and Elizabeth Tilton.
There is also some correspondence with publishers contained
in the papers. Letters of Ernest Jones discuss the work of
Prince and Sigmund Freud, papers to be given at various
professional meetings; and attendance at congresses on
psychology, psychotherapy, and neurology; and Jones' views on
dream analysis, alcoholism, and other subjects. William
James' letters contain his thinking on Spencer's philosophy,
his opposition to a proposed medical license, and mention of
his health. Letters from Prince to Putnam pertain chiefly to
his views on Freud. Topics covered in Blow's letters include
educational issues in kindergartens and women's suffrage;
they also reflect the development of her philosophical views
over a 20 year period.
Letters from Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH)
and Harvard colleagues, such as Cowles, Christian, and
Bowditch, concern teaching matters at Harvard, funding for
the Social Service Department at MGH, Bowditch's travels in
Europe, and physiological apparatus and research. Also
includes letters from other colleagues, such as Southard,
pertaining to his psychiatric work at the Massachusetts State
Hospital in Danvers; Ferenczi, about psychoanalytic treatment
and international meetings; from Edward Waldo Emerson, a long
series, 1866-1918, mostly about family and friends; and from
acquaintances, such as Elizabeth Tilton documenting her work
as a prohibitionist. Putnam's outgoing letters concern a

merger of Harvard departments of neurology and psychology,
European psychiatric hospitals, establishment of a neurology
ward and other matters at MGH and Harvard. They also reflect
his views on such subjects as neurasthenia, psychoanalysis,
and Freudian theories, alcoholism, and the Emmanuel movement
and cooperation between the clergy and medical profession.
Marion Cabot Putnam's letters include mainly letters of
condolence from friends and colleagues of her husband; there
are also some letters from Marion and other family papers.
Manuscripts belonging to Putnam include college essays;
reading and medical notes; manuscripts of lectures and papers
on such subjects as mental illness, psychoneurosis, and
psychoanalysis; diploma and other documents.
Related material includes correspondence,
1956-1965, concerning the disposition of the Putnam papers.
