Dear Unwin,
Thank you for your letter and half-yearly Statement, which are most satisfactory.
I should like to know a little more about Freedom and Organization and the Services. Do I understand that our gallant Forces were ordered to read the book1 in order to make them hate the Germans? If so I think it could have been done more cheaply.
Yours sincerely,
<signed> Bertrand Russell.
