Lindus asks who was occupying 28 Hasker St in April 1963, after Mr. Clemence vacated.

Farley informs Lindus that 28 Hasker was vacant in April 1963.

Miscellaneous handwritten and typed notes related to 28 Hasker st.

This brown envelope addressed to "Miss Edith Finch, 6 Paradise Walk, S.W.3" in BR's hand is empty. Written on the envelope in Edith's hand is "BR's letters [except prison letter] to ER" indicating she had stored the letters he sent her from 1948 to 1952 in it. The only part of the postmark that can be read is April. She continued to receive letters until November 1952.

This is a note written in pencil in BR's hand: "I have gone out for a short stroll". The tentative date has been assigned because it is located at the end of a group of letters which end in 1952.

This note is written in ink. "Here is John's story 'Seromt' [not present]. Also some letters to & from Colette which belong with the 1914-1918 bundle." John is BR's son; Colette is Lady Constance Malleson.

Cooper requested an autograph. The letter is dated from his reference to Edith's reply in his apology to her at record 27193.

This poem is written in Edith's hand. It was presumably taken down in dictation from BR, since he published "The Prelate and the Commissar" (B&R C53.24). The poem is on the verso of the envelope belonging to document 105017, record 20273. "The Poem of the True Believers or the Prelate & the Commisar". This title is followed by six lines of text, which are identical to the second stanza of the published poem.

This is a draft reply from Edith to Catlin. The letter she is replying to is not extant, but the envelope is. She forwarded his letter to Farley and Coates. Her letter admits it is a poor time for an appeal for funds. Inland Revenue is making a test case [of the BR Estate? the BRPF"?], and the Nottingham Council is bent on destroying their perfectly sound and useful building.

Included is the will's probate document, dated 2021/12/06.

Zelin and Zelin forward a letter to Miss Bernard and await further instructions. The enclosed letter, from A.C. Indianos, representing Takis Lefcaritis, informs Zelin & Zelin that Lefcaritis is not the father of her son and denies ever paying maintenance for the child.

It is unclear what relationship this correspondence has to BR and the BRPF. The letter to Miss Bernard's gives her address as 28 Husker St, London. It is possible that this correspondence was delivered in error or she was briefly a tenant at 28 Hasker St. It is unclear at present which of these is the case.

Farley acknowledges the receipt of a cheque and is returning it because Barclays said there would be two others. Farley will telephone on Friday, April 12, to discuss this.

Birkbeck et al. thank Farley for his letter of 12 August and informs him that it is receiving their attention.

Bayer informs Farley that Broadway Garages has made a further payment of £50 and that the balance will be paid within seven days.

Birkbeck indicates that the Under-Sheriff has received the full amount from Broadway Garages (Clements or Clemence). The Under-Sheriff will need to hold the proceeds for a short time and further steps against Clemence should wait until the money has been received.

Birkbeck et al. have now received a cheque from the Sheriff for the sum of £125 claimed in the proceeding against Broadway Garages (Seven Kings) Ltd. Birkbeck has written to Clemence (Clements) giving him a final opportunity to pay the further sum of £82.4.1.

Farley sends from Schoenman, a declaration of trust to be passed by the Charity Commissioners as the basis of the Bertrand Russell Trust and the amended version of clauses two and three which have been passed by the the Charity Commissioners and the Inland Revenue already. Neither document is present.

Farley sends the Certificate of Incorporation of the Atlantic Peace Foundation "duly notarially attested and legalised by the U.S. Consul in London".

Copy of the Certificate of Incorporation of United States SERVAS Committee, Inc. This document seems to be an example of a charitable corporation.

Standard has received the authenticated copy of the Atlantic Peace Foundation proposed certificate of incorporation. However, the original was not used for the authentication, as is required. He will send it under separate cover. It will need to be changed regardless because Leonard is reluctant to serve as incorporator and director.

Nathan Riley, "a young friend" of Boudin's is arriving in London on 16 May for two weeks and Boudin would appreciate if Schoenman and Farley would meet with him, as they share interests.

Schoenman sends copies of letters that have not arrived. The Trustees of an unspecified Trust should be listed as Bertrand Russell, the Duke of Bedford, Charlie Ellis, Rohert Rehder, and Schoenman. As a post script he mentions that he had lunch with Nathan Riley a number of times.

Ellis asks for advice about "the names and terms of wills and trusts in which money has been set aside for public or "humanitarian" work" in US or laws in other countries. Their London solicitors are also looking into money earmarked for the BRPF's kind of "subversive activity".

Standard recommends "The Blue Book - Directory of Foundations" as a reference and will purchase a copy to be used at Ellis' direction or forwarded to him. Standard also offers to provide information from his own experience if more details are forthcoming about the specifics.

Ellis is Executive Secretary of the BRPF.

Boudin thanks Schoenman for his 13 March note and will be in England on 26 April. He would like to see Schoenman in London; the trip to Wales is too far for his short visit.

Schoenman reports on changes in the BRPF directors (lost Pottle and Kinsey and gained Janjua) as well as some of the things they're working on (political prisoners, Rogosin film, Arab-Israeli conflict resolution). He and BR will both be in London 26 April and look forward to seeing Boudin when he is there.

Schoenman is sorry to have seen Boudin only briefly in New York and looks forward to discussing the future of the Foundation. He hopes an opportunity will present itself in London soon.

There is a second carbon copy.

Schoenman thanks Rabinowitz for his help regarding the Foundation and hopes he'll be able to meet BR when he is in London.

Boudin would like to come to London, but may not be able to do so for a number of months. He suggests Schoenman write a long analysis of the situation the Foundation is in so that he could properly provide advice. (There is no indication of "the situation".)

Rabinowitz was sorry he wasn't able to visit while on the Continent and hopes to on his next trip.

Boudin responds to Schoenman's 7 January letter on a number of subjects including: Babu, Mark Lane, payments to the US, and other matters.

Standard sends the original (not present) of the proposed certificate of incorporation of the Studies in the Third World, Inc. He asks that each subscriber execute his signature before a notary or equivalent.

Schoenman inquires as to the state of tax exempt status for Studies in the Third World, Inc. [Note: Ralph Schoenman is not identified, but he is the most likely sender. Carbons of his letters routinely lack his typed name.]

Standard writes to indicate that the approval of the Department of Education has been obtained and the proposed certificate of incorporation submitted to the Attorney General of New York for Studies in the Third World, Inc.

Rabinowitz agrees that there is potential for a book in the unspecified material that Schoenman's friend has. He wonders if the Foundation would be interested in helping in this situation and will inquire with one or two of the people involved, while keeping the matter confidential.

Four documents relating to Ralph Schoenman traffic infractions on 8 Dec. 1966 and the court hearing on 13 Feb. 1967.

Schoenman is pleased that Boudin will be participating in the Tribunal and questions why he didn't think to include him earlier. He goes on to ask if Boudin might be a member of the Tribunal itself.

"Spinoza, Russell tells me, was fond of saying that remorse only adds to the crime.…"

There are two copies of this carbon. The second indicates that it was dicated on the 10th, but typed on the 17th. There is also a handwritten note from [Pam?] saying Boudin has most of the Tribunal documents, but asking Deirdre to send him Bulletin no. 3, which she seems to have done 20 Jan. 1967.

Standard asks for a statement describing the authority of the British notaries who witnessed the signature of Christopher Farley, David Horowitz, Mark Lane, and Schoenman properly authenticated by the United State Embassy or Consular Office for the Clerk of the New York Secretary of State.

Standard reminds Schoenman of his request for a statement of authority. Also included is a photostat (or similar) copy of the same letter, unsigned.

Schoenman responds that he did not receive the 6 Feb. letter (record 132691) from Standard and now sends a letter (not present) from the notaries outlining the next steps.

Standard sends copies of his previous two letters (6 and 20 Feb., records 132691 and 132692) having not heard from Schoenman on the matter of the notaries re Studies in the Third World Inc..

Standard sends the original Certificate of Incorporation for Studies in the Third World, Inc. to append to the notarial authentications. The original is not present.

Schoenman sends a carbon copy of the certificate of incorporation of Studies in the Third World, Inc. legalized by the US Consulate. The certificate is unsigned.

A note stating that Ralph has promised Boudin that their fees will be paid soon and asks if it will be possible.

Following that is a handwritten note from Chris asking Pam to ask Ralph if it (an invoice at record 132698) can be paid out of the money Russ [Stetler] is raising to save on exchange problems.

A final annotation indicates that Stetler has okayed it.

An invoice related to Studies in the Third World, Inc. for $135.08.

Stetler hopes that they will be able to resolve the outstanding debts owed by the Foundation to Rabinowitz and Boudin while Rabinowitz is in London. He has been unable to reach him today and must return to Wales but is asking Geoffrey Coggan, their treasurer, to call Rabinowitz and arrange payment.

Rabinowitz was unable to connect with Coggan and Boudin outlines the best ways to provide payment, urging that it be done quickly so that litigation can proceed.

Stetler informs Boudin that Schoenman (whose UK attorney is Blanche Lucas) was able to renew his passport and so litigation will not need to be pursued in haste. Schoenman will contact him on how to proceed once he returns to England.

Stetler thanks Duffett for sending the di Antonio film footage.

BR thanks the recipient for the gift of The Spiritual Maxims of Angelus Silesius. The letter was offered for sale in Oct. 2022 at by Blackwell's Rare Books, for US2285.81 at https://www.abebooks.com/Autograph-Letter-signed-reference-wartime-pacifism/31305248554/bd.

See record 3141 for a slip of paper from the unnamed donor in Russell’s Library copy of the book.

Stetler requests advice concerning leaving the United States as it relates to the Selective Service System in effect during the Vietnam War.

Standard is away and will reply to the bulk of Stetler's questions. Meanwhile, Boudin asks for the details of the parcel that needs to be picked up and asks Stetler to send all the material that was gathered by the Tribunal for their Puerto Rican and New York draft cases.

Stetler sends a cheque to be deposited in Boudin's bank account, trusting the money can be withdrawn in the United States.
