PATRICIA RUSSELL / BR TO ISAIAH BERLIN, [APR. 1944]
BRACERS 117804. ALS(X). Bodleian Library, I. Berlin Papers
Proofread by K. Blackwell


Princeton R.D.1
[April 1944]1

Dear Mr. Berlin,

We have heard that you are going home on which I felicitate you — but if you are still here my husband and I would both like to see you.

I believe you sometimes go to New York for the week-end. If you are doing so the week-end of the 6th, could you stop off here — we are having a party on the evening of the 6th for Hans Reichenbach, who is coming from California — a talking party as opposed to the typical Princeton party which is amorous but inarticulate —. At least I intend it to be a talking party and your presence is therefore highly desirable. We could put you up for the night.

Yours sincerely
Patricia Russell.

If you can’t come then, I hope you will look us up some time before I go home.

Bertrand Russell.
