Dear Karin

I am sorry to have had to leave your coaching undone, but I shall be back Saturday morning. If you care to post your Leibniz paper to me at above address by 1st post tomorrow (not 2nd) I will look over it before I come. Otherwise you can read it to me on Saturday. Please read Descartes, Méditations, and Discours de la Méthode. Notice his method and axioms and consider their validity.

Yrs.
B. Russell

Tell Alys I will take the train about 9, arriving about 10.15.
