Dear Warder

Thank you for your letter of March 12. I am very grateful indeed for the efforts you are making on my behalf.

I should be most willing to go to Chicago, or indeed to any university. I should not at all mind giving public lectures, provided I had leisure for research, which I should have unless the lectures very very numerous. Harvard would, in many ways, be what I should like best of all.

I am quite willing, if required, to undertake not to speak or write publicly on American public affairs. I think, in any case, a foreigner should exercise discretion in this respect.

I note what you say about the Peace book and entirely accept your judgment.

Yours sincerely
Bertrand Russell
