Letter concerning offprints by Kurt Gödel sent to Russell by Smeaton/McEwen/von Zeppelin, sending a copy of a book by Friedrich Waismann to Amethe, and a proposed visit from her after the Russells' proposed walking tour. A much later letter from Amethe mentions her visit to the U.K. 20 years before, i.e. in 1938.

Dear Countess Zeppelin
Forgive my replying instead of my husband. I am writing all his letters just now, because he is heavily overworked. He thanks you very much for the offprints of Gödel and sends you Waismann’s book. He has not seen Chwistek’s article. Have you got it and could you send it?
We have both been hoping to see you both again, and we should be delighted to call on you when the present rush of work is over. We are promising ourselves a walking tour at the end of March (perhaps) and we might then invade you (after due notice) very dirty and unkempt, demanding food — both Viennese and intellectual — not that they are mutually exclusive!
Yours sincerely
Patricia Russell.
