London, W.1.
Dear Mr. Waller,
Thank you for your letter; I have noted the points contained in it. I should not like to be described as a “philosophical atheist”, which is a little too definite. I think perhaps “agnostic and rationalista philosopher”, or simply “agnostic and rationalist”.b
I will let you have the script1 at least a week before the 20th May.
What time would you wish me to reach the B.B.C. on May 20th? I presume there will be some technical preliminaries before the broadcast begins.
Yours sincerely,
<signed> Russell.
