Scope and content
59 Redcliffe Road, London, SW10.—Is hoping to get coaching work at Cambridge, with help from Littlewood and other mathematical dons. Coaching would have to be very bad to compare unfavourably with the situation in London since the September Crisis. He did not know that Wittgenstein had succeeded Moore [as Professor of Mental Philosophy and Logic at Cambridge]. ‘One feels that, but for [F. P.] Ramsey’s death, W. would have been confined to his proper sphere.’
