BR TO ALLEN AND UNWIN / STANLEY UNWIN, 1 SEPT. 1950
BRACERS 48184. ALS(X). George Allen and Unwin Ltd.
Proofread by K. Blackwell


41 Queen’s Road,
Richmond,
Surrey.a
1st September, 1950.

Dear Unwin,

Thank you for your letter. I should very much like to see you and I wonder if you could ever spare the time to visit me here, when I could introduce my son and daughter-in-law to you.b If you could come to dinner any day except a Sunday or Thursday, or tea any day whatever, it would give me great pleasure. But if you cannot spare the time I will come to see you.

I have no corrections to make in Human Knowledge, and nothing would induce me to add autobiographical material to Unpopular Essays. I have no objection whatever to the inclusion of Human Knowledge in the Library of Philosophy.

Yours sincerely,
Russell.
