Dear Mr Arlott
Thank you for your kind letter. I am much gratified by what you say about “The Rewards of Philosophy”. My book on Bolshevism was reprinted by Allen and Unwin not long ago, and should be easy to obtain. I have only one copy, or I would send you one. I return the two books you sent duly autographed.
I am sure Conrad would be overjoyed to get a book on cricket from you. His address is: The Hon. Conrad Russell, The College, Eton.
Yours sincerely
Russell
