Dear Sir
Please allow me, though rather late, to thank you most sincerely for sending me The spiritual maxims of Angelus Silesius. I read them at once, with the greatest appreciation, and I meant to write at once, but pressure of work led me to put it off. I was glad of the word of encouragement you sent with it.2 It is hard to keep the spirit alive in these times, and it helps to know of others who have not let hatred overwhelm them.
Yours truly
Bertrand Russell.
