Dear Unwin

Thank you for your nice letter. Certainly the printers have been very quick, and nevertheless very accurate. I don’t know whether you or a reader on your behalf has looked at the book, but I do not think it can be as popular as the History, since it is a good deal more difficult.

For an endorsement, I suggest Lord Samuel, and perhaps Professor H.H. Price, unless you would prefer Gilbert Murray.

Is there hope of the reprint of the History during the coming year?

Best Xmas wishes.

Yours sincerely
Bertrand Russell.
