Notes and topics

It is not known what Grelling's translation project was. Grelling had translated 5 of BR's books (OKEW, AMi, ABCR, OP and AMA) and was perhaps interested in translating his most recent one, An Inquiry into Meaning and Truth.

Kurt Grelling and his wife, Greta, were murdered at Auschwitz, soon after their arrival on 18 September 1942. 

The letter is to be published in Julian Beecroft and Sheri Blaney, The Right of Passage, by the History Press.

Dear Professor Oppenheim

I have received your post card. I am afraid my answer to your letter must have gone astray. I am most willing to give any permission that will help Dr. Grelling. He will, however, also need the consent of my English publishers,

Allen & Unwin, 40 Museum Street,
London W.C.1.

who handle all translation rights for me.

With kind regards

Yours sincerely
Bertrand Russell
