My dear Gamel
I shall sail for England by the first available boat, probably next month. One of the things I most look forward to is seeing you and Gerald again. I feel rather like a Rip van Winkel, and wonder if my friends of other days will still remember me, but I hardly think you will have quite forgotten me. I wrote to you four or five years ago, saying I wondered if we should ever meet again, but now it begins to look probable. If it is at all possible for you, please let me see you either at Aldbourne or in London, whichever suits you best. I wonder if your shawls have survived.
Goodbye.
Yours ever
Bertrand Russell.
