Description

Bertrand Russell

ALS, one page both sides, 5 x 5, no date. Letter regarding the publication of one of his works. In full: “I return the proof you sent me herewith. The corrections are all due to departure of the proof from the ‘copy.’ I gather you object to footnotes, so, as I found all my footnotes cut out, I had to insert in the text those that I consider essential. Take, for example, in the first paragraph, Cardinal Allen’s Admonition. A person might search for years without being able to come across it, if the reference to Frederick Chamberlin were cut out. So I hope you will leave it in.” In fine condition, with a trimmed top edge. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
