25th March, 1947.

Sir Stanley Unwin,
Messrs. George Allen & Unwin,
Publishers,
40, Museum Street,
W.C.1.

Dear Unwin,

I have read the letter from “Europa Verlag” which you enclosed, and I am willing to do a short preface,1 which, in the main, will point out that what has happened since 1938 confirms the thesis of the book. I am also willing to make the specific alterations that they suggest where topical remarks are no longer appropriate.

Yours sincerely,
<signed> Bertrand Russell.
