Notes and topics

BR thinks it better to clear the title-page of Inquiry. BR enjoyed seeing Unwin the other night. Joad has written a "very laudatory" review in Time and Tide (of Unpopular Essays).

BR points out the need to transpose "Heaven" and "Hell" on p. 192 of Unpopular Essays.

Transcription

BR TO ALLEN AND UNWIN / STANLEY UNWIN, 7 OCT. 1950
BRACERS 48809. ALS. Rayner Unwin
Proofread by K. Blackwell

41 Queen’s Rd.,
Richmond, Surreya
7.10.50

Dear Unwin

I am sorry your letter of Sp. 20 has remained so long unanswered. I don’t much care whether the title-page of Inquiry remains as it is or not; perhaps on the whole better not, as it seems ungracious to harp on ancient controversies.

I enjoyed seeing you the other night, and am glad about Liverpool Daily Post. Joad has written a very laudatory review in Time and Tide.

Yours sincerely
Russell.

P.S. On p. 192 of Unpopular essays, the quotation from Milton wants “heaven” and “hell” interchanged — a trivial alteration!
