To Gilbert Seldes
C/o Brown Shipley & Co
123 Pall Mall, London
Oxford, England. October 30, 1923
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
