Dear Dr. Schuck
Thank you for your letter of March 29, and for your kindness in regard to lectures elsewhere. Did I really suggest “Can hydrogen think?” I don’t like this title, even if I did suggest it; there seems to me something flashy and meretricious about it. I should prefer “the physical conditions of thinking” or some such title, if you don’t object.
Yours sincerely
Bertrand Russell.
