Dear Mr. Fisher,
Thank you for your letter of May 2 and for the enclosed typescript. I think your “entirely provisional” plan is excellent, and I am quite prepared to have you cut out whatever is necessary in order to reduce it to the requisite length.
I am grateful to you for your information about coconuts and for your enlargement of my very meagre dendrological knowledge. I am quite willing to substitute “sticks” for “coconuts”, though I regret the necessity as it makes a less vivid picture.
I enclose herewith the typescript that you sent me with a very small number of suggested corrections in the margin. I am surprised that our conversation reads as well as it does.
Yours very sincerely,
Bertrand Russell.
