BR TO ALLEN AND UNWIN / STANLEY UNWIN, 24 JULY 1947
BRACERS 48097. TLS(X). George Allen and Unwin Ltd.
Proofread by K. Blackwell

<letterhead>
27 Dorset House
Gloucester Place
N.W.1.
24th July, 1947.

Dear Unwin,

I enclose corrections for the second edition of The Scientific Outlook.1 The prefatory note you may, perhaps, think unnecessary, but the parallels, especially with The Brave New World are so close that readers nowadays might easily suspect me of plagiarism. If, however, you decide that this prefatory note is unnecessary, I will accept your view.

Yours sincerely,
<signed> Bertrand Russell.
