Dora's letter to BR is readdressed from New York City to San Diego, California, c/o Dr. Howard Bard.

Dora asks BR to: "Please do write down what Watson said, I am keener than ever to do the stuff about the machine age." Dora updates BR re staff and children at school. Dr. Cyril Burt will visit the school.

She describes her revolutionary speech at the Chinese lunch in BR's place: "I stand here a subject of the English King and a convinced republican; citizen of a capitalist and imperialist civilization, and do not believe in empire or the money motive as the basis of human affairs; wife and mother according to ancient patriarchal marriage laws in which I disbelieve".

Alice Crunden gave the Russells $1,000. Dora had a letter on Russia published in the Nation.
