Dear Unwin
Thank you for your letters of April 14 and 16, and also for the Royalty statement, which is very satisfying. As for the Heinemann prize,1 I cannot be present at the suggested date in June, as I am lecturing at the Sorbonne then. I was interested by all that you told me about the re-printing of the History. I am much impressed by your success with translation rights.
Yours sincerely
Bertrand Russell.
