18 February, 1956.
Dear Mr. Alfredson,
Thank you for your very nice letter of February 1. Such letters are an encouragement, especially as the kind of line that I am apt to take often brings me up against opposition from both Right and Left. I am in complete agreement with the opinions that you express in your letter.
I once had the pleasure of meeting Masaryk,a for whom I had a great admiration.
Yours sincerely,
<signed> Bertrand Russell
