Dear Mr. Kyllmann
Mrs. Richardson must be dead long ago. She must have been at least 10 years older than my brother, who would now be 82. Mrs. Williams [called Billings] also must be long dead. Of her daughter I know nothing. I don’t remember to have ever heard of Andrew Green.
So far as I am concerned, there is nothing to vex me in Santayana’s book.1
Yours sincerely
Russell.
