1109 | Feix is an admirer of BR's thought and of Wells' "Open Conspiracy". |

1133 | Foldes would like to present BR with a recording of his music, in person if it is possible. |

1135 | Mrs. Foldes asks if BR would be able to meet with her husband on his next brief trip to England. She also asks if BR received the recording that was sent to him. |
1136 | BR's first letter thanking Foldes for the recording was never received. BR sends his thanks again and states that "it is a great pleasure to me." BR cannot meet with Foldes while he is in England at the end of the month because he has to be in Wales. BR hopes though that "the pleasure may be only deferred". |

1147 | Forder has been reading Why I Am Not a Christian and has met Rollo Villiers. |
1148 | Forder writes on Fano's axiom in projective geometry on p. 305 of The Principles of Mathematics. The letter has "193" before and after the street name, but this really seems to be Forder's house number. He taught school upon leaving Cambridge in 1910, and perhaps he did so at the school nearby 193 Windsor Rd., Oldham (which is in the Manchester area). The letter may be later than 1910 but no later than 1913, when he ceased teaching in Oldham. Forder states that he is "late of Sidney Coll" [Cambridge]. (He took both Parts of the Mathematics Tripos there.) BR did not note that he answered the letter. Forder writes at the end: "Permit me to conclude by thanking you for the great pleasure which your work has afforded me." Forder notes in the brief Literature section of his The Foundations of Euclidean Geometry (CUP, 1927) that the logical background of any mathematical theory is discussed in Russell, IMP, Whitehead and Russell, PM (2nd Edition, 1925), Wittgenstein, TLP, Burali-Forti, Logica Matematica (2nd ed., 1919), and Peano, Formulario Mathematico (1908 and earlier eds.). |

1150 | On the Leeds Conference. |
1151 | BR has been following the Foots' progress and hopes that they will be well and will soon forget the pain and anxiety from their "dreadful accident". |
1152 | BR is interested in giving lectures in Paris "in the new year". The application is for a secretarial position in Paris on the United Kingdom delegation to the Organization for European Economic Cooperation for BR's secretary. BR had asked regarding a job for her in Paris. |
1153 | BR and his wife accept Foreman's invitation to the premiere of his film. BR also asks if he can invite "one or more close associates in this work". He mentions the BRPF and the campaign to raise money through covenants. The film is The Victors. |
1154 | Foreman is in the U.S., but sends the message through Green that he appreciates BR's acceptance of an invitation to his film's premiere. |
1155 | Forestier-Walker would like to renew his acquaintance with BR and invites him and Edith Russell to lunch on either the 12th or the 13th. |
1156 | Forsyth thanks BR for his sympathy in his time of trouble, and mentions the Whiteheads. |
1157 | In Italian. |

1160 | BR states that funding is what his work needs most. |
1161 | Fowkes holds that BR's article in the Saturday Evening Post was not critical enough of Anglo-American relationships and too critical of the English. Fowkes writes from Winnipeg, Canada. Her envelope was readdressed from "c/o The Saturday Evening Post | Independence Square | Philadelphia | Pa" to "c/o Kenneth Rhoad | Bell & Clapper | Phoenixville, Pa". |
1162 | Fox's daughter goes to BR's school. She writes about her daughter's trip home and what she had been doing while she was there. The fire at Beacon Hill School frightened Judith. |

1169 | BR missed Franck's visit to London. He apologizes and hopes that Franck will visit London again. |
1170 | |
1171 | Frankel sends BR a copy of his article which is to be published in Voprosi Filosofii. He states that BR's intervention during the Cuban Missile Crisis "was one of the greatest acts for peace made by any one man in our time", but that it does not alter his conclusions. |
1172 | "Unsent". BR responds to some of Frankel's ideas about him in his article, including the influence of his aristocratic ancestry (none), economists, preventative war and Stalin; and impartiality. |
1173 | On BR being sent to prison. |
1174 | On setting a time to work on the portrait of BR. |
1175 | On BR's title and the peer's roll. |
1176 | BR knows nothing about the peer's roll. Calling his children "Lord" and "Lady" would be bad for their characters. |
1177 | Franklin is writing a thesis on the development of the House of Lords and its future and asks BR's opinion on it. |
1178 | In response to Franklin's questions BR states that the House of Lords is "entirely without serious effect" and that he "favours its abolition." |
1179 | Franks expresses his gratitude for BR's article in the Saturday Evening Post. |

1182 | Freeman is doing a study on the treatment of conscientious objectors in the U.S. With some discussion of the situation in Britain. He asks if BR will make a statement on his views on the subject. |
1183 | BR outlines his views on pacifism in the modern world: "... in the present state of the world, I do not see how any war can do anything but harm." |
1184 | Fremantle congratulates BR on his marriage. She is writing a book on philosopher-saints and asks BR to write something for the foreword. |
