BR TO LOUIS COUTURAT, 25 MAY 1906
BRACERS 53285. ALS. La Chaux-de-Fonds Bib., Suisse. Russell–Couturat 1: #209
Edited by A.-F. Schmid


[Bideford, 25.05.1906]a

Cher Monsieur — Je ne vois pas pourquoi on n’a pas traduit litéralement le texte français. Je dirais : « We have accordingly divested the text of all indications of data or nationality, & have altered it to a general approval of the programme of the DELEGATION, so that it may be signed by savants of all nations, & presented to one or other of the associated Academies, accordingly to circumstances ». Le traducteur me paraît assez incompétent. — Après une semaine, mon adresse sera de nouveau Bagley Wood.

Votre cordialement dévoué
Bertrand Russell.
