Dear Francis

This is to confirm our telephone conversation according to which I retain the £100 already paid, and the contract is cancelled; and you send the typescript to

Leonard Woolf
Monk’s House, Rodwell, Lewes, Sussex.

Would you mind sending back to me the copy of the contract signed by Peter and me?

I am sorry on your account, and also that our business relations, other than over the children, have come to an end. But do not distress yourself on my account.

Yours ever
Bertrand Russell.
