BR TO JANE DE VERE, 16 FEB. 1945
BRACERS 119034. ALS. Clive Farahar and Sophie Dupre
Proofread by K. Blackwell


Grosvenor Lodge, Babraham Rd.
Cambridge.
16.2.45

Dear Miss de Vere

It was interesting to hear from you — of course I remember you and Roger vividly.

I am doubtful as to your chances in the U.S. but I was not in art circles and cannot tell at all what chances you would have. If you know any one to whom to apply, I think it would be worth your while to inquire what they think. I am sorry I don’t know enough to be of any use to you.

John is in the Navy, Kate in the Ministry of Information — both are in London, as he is being taught Japanese. Their address is 72 Dartmouth Rd, N.W.2.

With all good wishes,

Yours sincerely
Bertrand Russell.
