Paul Lorenzen, Esq.,
Clare College,
CAMBRIDGE.

Dear Mr. Lorenzen,

Thank you for your letter of 16th. I do not quite understand in what way you think that purely linguistic questions are connected with questions of politics.

I can be seen in Trinitya in the rooms of Mr. Bessicovitch on Thursdays from 2-30 to 4 o’clock, and if you care to come and see me on a Thursday I shall be happy to discuss with you when perhaps you will succeed in making me understand your views better than I do at present.

Yours truly,
<signed> Bertrand Russell
