BR will be glad to introduce Feibleman's book on Peirce, "assuming that I think well of the book when I see it", and for $200. Ten to one BR will like the book, he says.

"How many words are supposed to go to a typewritten page?" BR wonders how Freda Utley will like Chungking.

Dear Mr Cairns

I shall be glad to do an Introduction of about three typewritten pages to Feibleman’s book on Peirce,1 assuming that I think well of the book when I see it, and on the understanding that the fee is $200. How many words are supposed to go to a typewritten page?

I am glad to have your news of Freda. I wonder how she will like Chungking when she gets there.

Warmest regards from us both.

Yours sincerely
Russell.

P.S. I think it is ten to one that I shall like Feibleman’s book.
