Dear Professor Stout

I have read the six chapters you sent me with great interest, and am glad to have seen them. I am sorry I do not feel I can write about them for publication. My views are not what they were, and a good deal of rather tedious explanation would be needed. I could not defend myself — so far as I still think my past self defensible — at all briefly, and I incline to think that what working time remains to me ought to be spent rather on the future than the past. But I hope you will not take this as implying any underestimate of the importance of your father’s work.

Yours sincerely
Russell
