4th December, 1962.

Mansel M. Davies, Esq.,
Talfan,
Stanley Road,
Aberystwyth.

Dear Mr. Davies,

Thank you for your kind letter. I am sorry that it is not likely I shall be able to accept your invitation, because I am, at the moment, so overwhelmed with commitments in the work against nuclear war that I have taken on, and in projects such that I shalla be obliged to reject many invitations I should wish to accept.

I shall keep your invitation in mind, and should it be possible for me to accept it I shall inform you.

Yours sincerely,
<signed> Bertrand Russell
