BR / PATRICIA RUSSELL TO RUPERT CRAWSHAY-WILLIAMS, [20 JAN. 1946]
BRACERS 56046. ALS. McMaster
Proofread by K. Blackwell


Dear Crawshay Williams

Would you kindly forward enclosed to Koestler, whose address I don’t know. It is not for publication, but a text for discussion.1

Yours sincerely
Russell.

Did you find your gloves? I thought you might have left them in the hall at the P. Arms and meant to ask but forgot because of a great rush of re-measuring after noticing that the big room door is too close to the fireplace. Please tell Elizabeth I suffer agonies of remorse for not helping with washing-ups etc.

Storm Jameson says she can’t speak and I am therefore still chasing speakers.

Many thanks to you both for the good time you gave us. Polemic has asked B. for an article on Russia.2

In haste,
P.H.R.

Enc. Elizabeth’s needles.
