To access the original letter, email the Russell Archives.
BR encloses a letter from W. Lutosławski (not present). He tells Unwin that Lutosławski has found "no errors" in his account of Plato in History of Western Philosophy. That is "high praise", as it comes "from so eminent an authority". BR asks Unwin to send Lutosławski 3 of his books, as the Pole is "marooned in Krakow". BR is off to Sweden for 10 days.

Dear Unwin
I enclose a letter from Lutosławski,1 who, poor man, is marooned in Krakow. I am sending it to you for two reasons. The lesser, that he says he has found no errors in my account of Plato, which, from so eminent an authority, is high praise. The major reason, that he would like to have some books of mine, and I should be glad to give them to him (except Marriage and Morals). I do not know which are in print, but if any are, could you send them with the author’s compliments?
I am glad the History is again available.
I am just off to Sweden for 10 days.
Yours sincerely
Bertrand Russell.
