Dear Mr Seldes,

I have read Bertrand Russell’s book, but hardly care to revert to it or to write a review. My ideas of politics are so contrary to his that it would be hard for me say anything that didn’t seem ill-natured about his strange madness whenever he touches any human subject. Besides, I think I have already written too much about him.

Yours sincerely,
G Santayana
