Dear Gilbert

I quite agree that you and I can’t be accused of either crime, though since Jim Butler got in for Camb. I feel you had a narrow squeak. I had thought Sorley safe, as he has every defect to which a don is liable. My election was fought entirely on my moral character. I never knew how virtuous I was until I heard myself explaining it on the platform. I should like to see you in Parlt. but I don’t want to be there myself. I suppose you would reciprocate this sentiment.

Yrs ever
Bertrand Russell.
