Notes	The American imagist poet Hilda Doolittle submitted to analysis by Hanns Sachs, and he later helped arrange her analysis by Sigmund Freud, which is memorably reflected in her later "Tribute to Freud". Following inquiries and then negotiations and his estimate that an extended analysis of H.D. would be necessary, an agreement was reached through correspondence in December 1932. Clearly, Freud had become increasingly interested in the genius of H.D., known to him as Mrs. Aldington, whose publications he wanted to read. H.D. then traveled to Vienna and stayed in the Hotel Regina, close to Freud’s consulting room at Berggasse 19 for the extended periods in 1933 and 1934.
