BR TO ALLEN AND UNWIN / STANLEY UNWIN, 13 APR. 1947
BRACERS 48085. ALS(X). George Allen and Unwin Ltd.

THE HOTEL PORTMEIRION
PENRHYNDEUDRAETH NORTH WALES
April 13, 1947

Dear Unwin

I can’t go to Blackpool as I shall be in Paris then. I don’t think I would have gone anyhow. There is no point for me in advertising, as you can sell as many of my books as you are allowed to print. Have you any idea when the reprint of my History will be available?

I saw your letter in the Observer this morning1 and thought it admirable.

Yours sincerely
Bertrand Russell.
