Dear Mr. Luce
I enclose an article on what America could do with the atomic bomb. It is to appear in England in Cavalcade.1 I should like it to be read by you, quite regardless of whether you care to publish it. The point of view is not quite the usual one, and I think the matter of great public importance.
Yours sincerely
Bertrand Russell.
