Dear Mr Woolf

Accept my hearty thanks 
for the advance copy 
of Moses and Mono-
theism you were so 
kind to send me. The 
outfit of the book is very 
satisfactory and the re-
production of the grandiose 
face of Michelangelo’s 
statue on the jacket 
is the most impressive 
you could have chosen.

By the way, it is rather 
a bit of irony that this 
face should be so full 
a contradiction to 
the content of the book. 
The Moses of my construc-
tion, living under the 
XVIII^th dynasty could only 
be clean shaven. I know, 
no such representation 
is to be found in art.

With high regards 
yours sincerely 
Sigm. Freud
