Dear Mr Wilson1

I am very sorry that an unusual press of work made me overlook that it was within nine days that you wanted a message to your students. I am afraid it is now too late, and in any case I should not have known what to say except to congratulate them upon being taught by a man so evidently imbued with the right spirit.

Yours very sincerely
Bertrand Russell.
