The translation was sent to Wittgenstein by Ogden on March 20, 1922 (as announced in Ogden’s letter from this date). Wittgenstein sent the translation back with his corrections on April 23, 1922. In this letter Wittgenstein adds detailed explanations and suggestions concerning the English translation (ÖNB: Autogr. 1270/42-9)
