Notes and topics

BR agrees to an interview about old age, as a request on Dr. Gumpert's behalf by Edward C. Aswell.

Gumpert published "A Second Prime of Life—After 70" in The New York Times Magazine, 8 July 1951, p. 14, with this comment on BR: he is "preparing his autobiography at 79 and complaining that he is easily tired because he cannot walk more than five miles at a time."

BR TO MARTIN GUMPERT, 6 DEC. 1950
BRACERS 121402. ALS(X). McMaster
Proofread by K. Blackwell


41, Queen’s Road
Richmond, Surreya
Dec. 6, 1950

Dear Sir

Mr. Edward C. Aswell tells me that you wish to see me in the course of a study of old age. I shall be glad to see you at above address almost any time in January or February. If you come to London perhaps you will ring me up to fix a time. Richmond is a suburb.

Yours truly
Bertrand Russell
