Miss C. Kohler,
Virginia.

Dear Miss Kohler,

Thank you for your letter of April 5th and for the accompanying cheque.1

There is just one point raised by your letter and it is this: The B.B.C. will produce at the proper time an obituary of Shaw by me if I outlive him — which, it must be said, is doubtful. In this obituary there are some phrases closely similar to those in the article that I sent to you and it is possible the B.B.C. may wish to publish the broadcast in the Listener, though I have no knowledge that they will wish to do this. I hope, if so, that you will not object.

Very sincerely yours,
<signed> Bertrand Russell
