Dear Cory,
Many thanks for Part II of your article;1 I have read it with much pleasure and have not found a single word to criticise. I agree particularly with your insistence that the conception of “knowledge” current in philosophy is too strict. Indeed, I have been developing this point of view in my lectures and in the book that I am writing.
I am grateful for your able defence of me, and I hope you make my opinions more acceptable to the philosophical palate than they have hitherto proved.
Yours very sincerely
Russell.
