Dear Norton,

I return herewith the addendum to the contract, duly signed. Let us hope that it will be necessary.1

I am glad to hear that you have had such a success with the book on Liberty, but I do not repent of not having undertaken it, as I feel I should not have done it well.

I enjoyed very much seeing Aannestad, whom I like immensely.

With all best wishes to yourself and Mrs. Norton,

Yours sincerely,
p.p. Bertrand Russell

p.p. Bertrand Russell The signature “Bertrand Russell” is followed by the initials “O.H.”, for Olive Harrington, BR's secretary, in whose hand "Bertrand Russell” appears.
