BR TO MOUNT HOLYOKE COLLEGE / VICTORIA SCHUCK, 22 SEPT. 1950
BRACERS 65424. ALS(X). Mount Holyoke College Archives, Victoria Schuck Papers
Proofread by K. Blackwell

Sep. 22, 1950

Dear Professor Schuck

I propose to leave London on the evening of October 22, and I shall be due to arrive at New York Airport at 7.55 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on Oct. 23. I do not know whether Daylight Saving Time will be in force then, but in any case it is by Eastern Standard Time that I am due. I am travelling by B.O.A.C. You were kind enough to say that I should be met at the airport. I hope whoever comes can advance me a few dollars, as I am not allowed to bring a single cent of American money, and cannot even telephone if anything goes wrong.

I am coming a day early in case of bad weather.

Yours sincerely
Bertrand Russell.
