Dear Gollancz

Your telegram reached me too late for yesterday’s post. I have today written to the Times to support you, but I fear they won’t print me. They usually refuse to print letters from me, on theological grounds.

I have long felt indignant about dismantling and I hope with all my heart that it will be abandoned.

Yrs v. sinc.
Russell.
