Dear Sirs
I have today sent you by airmail, in two separate packets, the remaining corrected proofs of my Human Knowledge. Am I to have paged proofs? If so, I can make the index myself; if not, I will leave the index to you.
The corrections are again, with a very few trivial exceptions, to restore the proofs to agree with the copy. I find that you have made a number of deliberate alterations without asking my consent. I hope you will not insist upon retaining these. As I shall be regarded as the author, I have, I think, a right to say what shall be printed as purporting to be by me.
Yours faithfully
Bertrand Russell.
