Dear Newman

Having read Turing’s paper, I quite agree with you as to its importance. I have therefore signed my name as seconder, and return the form herewith.

His paper was received and read in 1936, published in 1937. I didn’t know which date should be inserted, but I put 1936. You can change it if you think it should be changed.

Yours sincerely
Russell.
