Letter referencing his important 1939 book Moses and Monotheism, in full (translated): "Your intention of admitting me to honorary membership in your society has pleased me extremely. I will always feel I belong among you, even if I cannot attend your conferences as a result of my bodily ailments. As it so happens, I have just made an attempt to push my way into historical research with my latest work, a study on the great figure Moses. Of course, I am not sure that the content of this essay will meet your approval." In fine condition. Freud's last major work prior to his death, Moses and Monotheism, was published in 1939.
