Dear Dr Silberstein
First and foremost let me thank you most warmly for “solutio problematis marmalatar” — I was in town for the week-end and thoroughly enjoyed the “solution”. I do hope it does not mean that you have used up your month’s jam ration in obtaining it?
I think you should certainly add the matter of angle-measurement that you send me. It is very agreeable getting the angle-sum of a triangle = a straight angle. It seems to me to complete your work in a most interesting way. Again thanking you.
Yours sincerely
Bertrand Russell
