8th November, 1948.

Dear Mr. Brockway,1

Thank you for your letter. I am sorry to say that at the moment I am so appallingly busy that I cannot set to work to choose a collection of quotable passages from my books, but I am firmly persuaded that you can do it at least as well as I can.

Yours truly,
<signed> Bertrand Russell.
