Bereik en inhoud
Remarks about the previous night's conversation. Wittgenstein is vain and does not like to admit he is wrong; he is very unclear about things and longs for better and deeper discussions. Sraffa is superior as he is much less vain and less clumsy than Wittgenstein, and less anxious to know if he is correct or not. Sraffa's cleverness is a danger to him; he should help his opponents to attack his thoughts.
