Dear Sir
On returning yesterday from America I found your letter of November 18. I wish to express my warm thanks to the Swedish Academy for the great honour conferred upon me. It gives me much pleasure to accept the invitation to Stockholm for myself alone; my wife has bad health and will not be able to come. The letter to Princeton which you mention did not reach me. Would it be too much trouble to repeat the information it contained?
Would you be so very kind as to let me know whether I shall need a tail coat or a dinner jacket or both or neither?
Yours sincerely
Bertrand Russell
