Dear Mr. Haldeman-Julius

Thank you for your letter of August 13. I am sorry I cannot undertake contributions to The Freeman,1 as I am in the middle of a big book which takes up all the time I can spare. For the same reason, I think I must postpone doing further essays for you until my big book is finished. With regrets,

Yours sincerely
Bertrand Russell.
