It has been suggested that the reverse portrait is that of Artemisia in the guise of Demeter, based on similarities between her features as they appear on the statue of Aretmisia from the Mausoleum, now in the British Museum, and those as they appear on the coinage. If that were the case, then almost certainly the obverse portrait we see would be that of Mausolos himself as Herakles.

'You and I will probably not be alive to see it in action' [GANDHI MAHATMA]: (1869-1948) Indian Political and Spiritual Leader during the Indian Independence Movement. T.L.S., M. K. Gandhi (secretarial signature, possibly in the hand of a family member), one page, 8vo, Noakhali, 29th November 1946, to 'Dear Friend'. Gandhi states that he has neglected his correspondent's question for a long time ('You know the reason why') although remarks that he has their letter to Pyarelalji before him, commenting 'Of course conversions will so far as I know continue under swaraj, but there would be no State favouritism as there has been during the British regime. Let us hope that under swaraj there will be no one man rule but the people's. You and I will probably not be alive to see it in action'. A letter of interesting content for its references to self-rule, and the precognition of his death which was to tragically occur by assassination just over a year after the date of the present letter. VG The present letter was written in the aftermath of the communal riots at Noakhali where Gandhi stayed for around four months motivating the people towards his peaceful coexistence and non-violence philosophy.

(Not that these require less accuracy & care, as I see you observing, but that they are on subjects which I have already studied.)' A few very small pinholes to the centre of the pages, not affecting the text or signature, otherwise VG
