"I enclose an American review [not present] of Bertie's book [A History of Western Philosophy] which has not been published here yet. But Trevy has a copy of the American edition, and promises to lend it to us. I do hope it will sell well, and make some money for him. He wants to leave Cambridge next summer, as the climate does not suit him and his family. They will go somewhere in the country, with a pied-a-terre small flat in London, from where he can go to Cambridge for his lectures, and see his friends, they hope, without his wife. She [Patricia Russell] is an insistent bore, and never allows him to talk. His Cambridge lectures are a tremendous success, and so is his broadcasting in the 'Brains Trust'."
