BR TO ALLEN AND UNWIN / STANLEY UNWIN, 13 SEPT. 1950
BRACERS 48185. TLS(X). George Allen and Unwin Ltd.
Proofread by K. Blackwell

41, Queen’s Road,
Richmond,
Surrey.
September 13th, 1950

Sir Stanley Unwin, LL.D.,
40, Museum Street,
London, W.C.1.

Dear Unwin,

Many thanks for the Beachcroft book which I shall read with much pleasure. I am glad you got home safely after your mishap. It is most satisfactory that you beat Simon and Schuster on my sales.

I do not wish to receive a half-yearly cheque at the end of this month, as it pays me better to get my royalties after the 5th of April, for reasons you can imagine. I shall be curious to hear your verdict on my son’s satirical story when you have read it.

Yours sincerely,
<signed> Russell
(Earl Russell)
