"I was very glad to get your letter of March".

The letter is on pp. 285-6 of a ts. carbon titled "Letters from Bertrand Russell", sent to Russell by Colette with a covering letter on p. 289 (same document number, record 98441). The ribbon copy was sent to her then publisher, Jonathan Cape.

The original of this letter is not extant. Part of this letter was published in In the North, pp. 140-1, beginning "I hope this letter will reach you." By that time Colette had reworked the text of her book, and thus this letter does not appear in the grouping with two other letters as it does here.
