"You will remember that we had some correspondence earlier this year concerning an obituary article to be published by this Society on the late Earl Russell. In my letter of the 28th March, 1970, I said I would comply with your request that a copy be sent to Lady Russell when completed, and I am pleased to inform you that the article has now been written by Professor Gilbert Ryle. He will read it at a meeting of the Society to be held in London on the 7th December next at 7.30 pm. ... It would give our members great pleasure if Lady Russell would care to attend the Meeting as the Society's guest when Professor Ryle reads the paper."
