Falk discusses the George Boole papers which were donated to the Royal Society. Todhunter and de Morgan had the mathematical papers and created a supplementary volume on differential equations. Falk's father has ordered Boole's writings on "The Laws of Thought" and seeks publisher for a book. The book is on the "laws of thought", written so that a non-mathematical reader may understand the ideas therein.

Falk asks if BR would read the book and offer his qualified opinion so that his father may believe that it is worth publishing.
