Dear Unwin,
I have just returned from Switzerland and have found your letter of June 21st awaiting me. I agree entirely with what you say. I think it will be best to have in French only the Lectures based on Power, and let Rentsch have the complete book in German. If this course is pursued I very much hope that the translation into French which was made for me to use in Geneva, will be the one published, as it was very much better than translations usually are, and I went over it point by point with the translator.1
Yours sincerely,
<signed> Russell.
