"I am distressed, not to say horrified, by the correspondence about Dear Bertrand Russell. What do you think accounts for the paucity of sales during the last year? Re Russell's parody of Milton's sonnet: "Bertie frequently let off steam or celebrated particular occasions by writing them." Note: The sonnet is in Box 17.49, F-4. "I am very glad Dr. Lackey is continuing with his proposed book." "A beautiful precision is one of the chief characteristics, to my mind, of Bertie's own writing."
