HISTORY XV.—T.S., artist, aged 32. “I was born in England. My father was a Jew, the first to marry out of his family and to marry a Christian. My great-grandparents were cousins; he was a German and she was a Dane. My grandparents were also cousins; he was a Swede and she was a Dane.
“My maternal grandfather
was an English Protestant, and my
maternal grandmother was Irish,
fanatically Roman Catholic, and a
very eccentric woman.
“In my father’s
family there have been many members of note. In
my mother’s family there
were many renowned lawyers.

“I am middle height and very slight. Weigh 106 English pounds, without clothes. My hands and feet are small and well-shaped. Head of normal size. Features small. Eyes green. Have worn glasses since I was 7 years old. Complexion fair. Appearance not Jewish. The skin of my body is very white, without blemish. Very little hair on my face. Hair on head and abdomen luxuriant. No hair whatever on stomach and chest. Color of hair auburn everywhere except below navel, that black. (My father’s, mother’s, and brother’s hair was brown.
