BR TO ALLEN AND UNWIN / STANLEY UNWIN, 31 OCT. 1946
BRACERS 48065. TLS(X). George Allen and Unwin Ltd.
Proofread by K. Blackwell


Trinity College,
Cambridge.
31st October, 1946.

Sir Stanley Unwin,
40 Museum Street,
London, S.W.1.

Dear Unwin,

Thank you very much for the advance copy of my book, and for your letter. It is a relief to know that the book is to be published on November 19th.

I should like to hear the story of the seventeen days that it took you to get from Vienna to Budapest; it sounds as though you had bored through the iron curtain with a gimlet.

Yours sincerely
<signed> Bertrand Russell.
