Dear Unwin

Thank you for your letter of Feb. 2. I am glad of what you say about Dutch reprints, but I can’t quite make out the situation about the History. You speak of paper for another 22,000; is this to make up the 30,000 your reprint was to be, or is it extra? I also don’t gather when the first copies of the reprint will be available.

By the way, in advertising other books of mine in the opening pages, could you omit the ones with Scott Nearing and with Dora Russell? The latter, in particular, often puts my present wife in an embarrassing position. I marked it to be deleted in my proofs, but I think perhaps I was considered to be acting ultra vires.

Thank you for the kind things you say about my speech and debate.

Yours sincerely
Bertrand Russell.
