BR TO ALLEN AND UNWIN, [12 AUG. 1947]
BRACERS 48100. ALS(X). George Allen and Unwin Ltd.
Proofread by K. Blackwell
Messrs Allen & Unwin
Dear Sirs
Will you inform Mr Allawag that there were two St. Augustine’s,1 as he could have discovered from the index. I had supposed the fact too well known to be worth mentioning.
I have no view as to the man whose application to translate my History I enclose.
Yours faithfully
Bertrand Russell
- 1
two St. Augustine’s The second was St. Augustine of Canterbury. In the passage concerned (p. 406 of the UK edition), Russell does not distinguish him from St. Augustine of Hippo.
