Notes, topics or text
The auction was held 9 November 2022. Lot 258, to which this letter belonged, was sold for £11,000.
Only the recto of the presumably single-sheet letter is in the copy. The auction house states: "The letters were collected by Sheila Zinkin who acted as Bertrand Russell's secretary in 1951.... The collection has remained in the family until now."
BR wants to send Zinkin a copy of his short stories (Satan in the Suburbs) with this inscription: "To Miss S.Z. / The Onlie Begetter of / The Corsican Ordeal". Cf. Collected Papers 26: 328.
