Sir Stanley Unwin,
40, Museum Street,
London, W.C.2.

Dear Unwin,

Thank you very much for your two letters; I am immensely impressed by your list of translations arranged for.1 I regret only that the book is not, like Marriage and Morals, to be translated into Hebrew. I am also much pleased by your giving me the added datum for my thesis that the Vatican and the Kremlin are almost indistinguishable. I was amused to learn that the most important point on which Haldane2 differs from me is as to Aristotle’s biological merits. I had fondly supposed that there were other and even graver matters upon which we disagreed.

With regard to your kind letter of the 19th: I think it will be more advantageous to me to wait for royalties until after April 5th, as I have received this year a very considerable sum from Simon and Schuster. I have not yet had the half-yearly statement concerning my other books, which I usually get sometime during October, but I suppose it will come soon.

Yours sincerely
<signed> Bertrand Russell.
