=== Visit from Frank Ramsey, Puchberg ===
[[File:Puchberg am Schneeberg-view.jpg|thumb|upright|[[Frank P. Ramsey]] visited Wittgenstein in [[Puchberg am Schneeberg]] in September 1923.]]
In September 1922 he moved to a secondary school in a nearby village, [[Hassbach (Lower Austria)|Hassbach]], but considered the people there just as bad – "These people are not human ''at all'' but loathsome worms," he wrote to a friend – and he left after a month. In November he began work at another primary school, this time in [[Puchberg am Schneeberg|Puchberg]] in the [[Schneeberg (Alps)|Schneeberg]] mountains. There, he told Russell, the villagers were "one-quarter animal and three-quarters human".

[[Frank P. Ramsey]] visited him on 17&nbsp;September 1923 to discuss the ''Tractatus''; he had agreed to write a review of it for ''Mind''.{{sfn|Monk|1990|pp=212, 214–216, 220–221.}} He reported in a letter home that Wittgenstein was living frugally in one tiny whitewashed room that only had space for a bed, a washstand, a small table, and one small hard chair. Ramsey shared an evening meal with him of coarse bread, butter, and cocoa. Wittgenstein's school hours were eight to twelve or one, and he had afternoons free.<ref>{{Cite journal |doi=10.1017/S0031819100065396 |last=Mellor |first=D.H. |title=Cambridge Philosophers&nbsp;I: F.P.&nbsp;Ramsey |journal=Philosophy |year=1995 |volume=70 |issue=272 |pages=243–26299 |s2cid=143786971 |url=https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/bitstream/handle/1810/3484/RamseyText.html}}</ref> After Ramsey returned to Cambridge a long campaign began among Wittgenstein's friends to persuade him to return to Cambridge and away from what they saw as a hostile environment for him. He was accepting no help even from his family.{{sfn|Monk|1990|p=212}} Ramsey wrote to John Maynard Keynes: {{blockquote|[Wittgenstein's family] are very rich and extremely anxious to give him money or do anything for him in any way, and he rejects all their advances; even Christmas presents or presents of invalid's food, when he is ill, he sends back. And this is not because they aren't on good terms but because he won't have any money he hasn't earned ... It is an awful pity.{{sfn|Monk|1990|p=212}}}}
