Dear Mrs Holden

The enclosed from Jackie is so well written that I thought you might like to see it.3 She is a clever child and surprisingly industrious.

I hope I shall find you on the Berengaria. If you have time, do drop me a line to let me know whether to look out for you. If you are on the boat, I hope we may dine at the same table?

Yours very sincerely
Bertrand Russell.
