Dear Julian.
Thank you very much for your letter of congratulation. The Prize gives me much pleasure but I am completely lost in a Benthamite attempt to apportion my pleasure between the honour and the cash.
I returned from America two days ago and I very much hope to see you and Juliette sometime soon but I shall not have any spare time until after my visit to Stockholm on December 10th. Please give Juliette all sorts of messages from me.
Yours ever,
<signed> B.R.
P.S. Partly inspired by you I have taken to emphasising the importance of the population question. I had a first rate row on the subject with the Catholic Church in Australia in the course of which I compelled the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Melbourne to apologise publicly.
