My dear Gilbert

Might I come to you for some week-end? So far as I know at present, I have no week-end engagements after this coming week-end, so if you would propose a date that suits you it would be pretty sure to suit me. It is ages since I have seen you.

What do you think of (a) Mr Balfour (b) Manhood Suffrage (c) Tripoli (d) the Chinese Republic (e) the Railway tangle (f) the Bergson boom? [Not more than FOUR to be attempted.]

I don’t know whether it is Perris or who it is, but I find they have altered my paragraphing in printing. In some cases it didn’t seem to matter much, but in others it destroyed the style. I generally put quite a different sort of sentence at the end of a paragraph from any that I should put in the middle — I make the ones in the middle obviously incomplete. I hope Perris or whoever it is won’t insist. Do you know when the book is likely to come out?

I heard some time ago that Morpeth was very ill, and then I heard no more. Do you know how he is?

Love to Mary.

Yours ever
Bertrand Russell.
