"The first time I met Russell must have been in the early 30s, when I commented publicly on a paper (his presidential address?) that he delivered to the Aristotelian Society. In the early 40s, I was in charge of a visit he paid to the University of Illinois, where I was then teaching. Later [in 1948], I spent much of a whole day sitting by his side in a touring bus in Holland. That was soon after his airplane accident and his subsequent swim to safety, of which I remember him as being very proud. There must have been other occasions, since we had a mutual friend in Susan Stebbing."

There are other letters in the file.
