Dear Friend (whose name I cannot decipher),
It was very kind of you to send me some pipe cleaners, and you are right in thinking that they are very difficult to get in this country. You were also right to employ a typewriter rather than handwriting, if I may judge by your signature, which completely baffled me.
I enjoyed the occasion on which we met1 more than I usually enjoy being “shot”.
Yours sincerely,
<signed> Bertrand Russell
