Notes and topics
On Sheffer's reduction of the number of primitive propositions.
Volume 3 of Principia is out. At Harvard BR must teach logic without symbols—"rather a farce".
BR asks for an offprint when the paper he comments on here is published. He later received an inscribed offprint of "A Set of Five Independent Postulates for Boolean Algebras, with Application to Logical Constants", Transactions of the American Mathematical Society, 14, no. 4 (Oct. 1913) : 481-8.
