Dear Warder

Thank you for your kind letter. I should like very much to come to you for the night on the occasion of one of my Rand School lectures. Would the second lecture (Feb. 2) suit you? It is possible (though not probable) that Peter will be with me, and I don’t know whether you can manage us both. (We don’t mind sharing a single bed.) I could manage a later Monday equally well if it suited you better.

I hope to make a popular book based on my lectures, to be called “Problems of Democracy”2 or some such title. I don’t know whether you would like it? Or, if so, whether it would be the sort of book on which you would think it worth while to pay an advance?

Best wishes to you and Polly.

Yours sincerely
Bertrand Russell.
