Dear Unwin

Thank you for your letter. I am giving every moment I can spare to the proofs, and will send them to you in a few days, or perhaps better bring them in person on Monday 12th, when I have to be at the BBC at 1.1

I do not know when Simon and Schuster will publish; I had supposed this spring.

Thank you for your very kind suggestion about a volume of essays.2 I will look into the question of what is available. I wrote some pamphlets for Haldeman Julius,3 of Girard, Kansas; I should like to include them, but do not know if he would give permission.

Of course an immediate payment would be pleasant, but I am better off than usual, having at last got the money for which I sued Barnes. I am very anxious to have my History published as soon as possible, and do not want to do anything that would cause delay, so I think I would rather postpone a volume of essays, unless you think there is no hope of publication of the History fairly soon.

I learn from a correspondent that all my books with you are unavailable except Principles of Mathcs. and Power. What a sad situation! Down with Hitler!

Yours sincerely
Bertrand Russell.
