Autograph letter signed by Moshe Dayan, on the official stationery of the Minister of Defense. Addressed to Ruth Dayan. February 21, 1971. Hebrew. Letter by Moshe Dayan, addressed to Ruth Dayan. Written while he was serving as Israel's Minister of Defense, a few months before the couple divorced after over 35 years of marriage. Dayan writes briefly about his meetings with family members. Later in the letter he apparently makes reference to Egyptian President Anwar Sadat's proposals regarding potential peace talks: "[Yitzhak] Rabin arrived for consultations and Golda [Meir] holds endless meetings and they argue and make decisions, but I don't feel that matters are being seriously managed ." The State of Israel's official response to Sadat's proposal was delivered on February 26, 1971, five days after this letter was written. At the end of the letter, Dayan writes the following to his wife Ruth: "You'll no doubt manage to also get to see a good play or enjoy [some decent] entertainment, after all, the US is not Tzahala [an upscale residential neighborhood in Tel Aviv, where the couple was residing]." And he signs "Yours, Moshe." [1] f., written on both sides, 20 cm. Good condition. Fold lines. Few stains. Provenance: Estate of Ruth Dayan.
