It is not known which letter from Wordsworth goes with this envelope.

BR explains why the article "Dr. Nikola in Gaol!" made him indignant. Thomas William Stewart, alias "Dr. Nikola", had been charged with blasphemy.

See also document .111397b, record 112915, which is BR's extracts from The Truthseeker.

The note is marked "LET" for either Russell's collection of letters or his Autobiography.

These are extracts that BR had typed of the articles "Dr. Nikola in Gaol!" and "'Dr. Nikola.' Blasphemy Charge at the Strafford Assizes" from The Truthseeker, new series, no. 4 [Nov. 1913].

The original issue of the periodical is filed in Russell Archives Periodicals. The top of p. 1 bears the notations "LG" and "Hon Bertrand Russell Trinity College Cambridge", the latter in the handwriting of A.N. Whitehead. Russell's notations show what was to be typed.

See also BR's note at document .111397a, record 112914. BR had intended to include the extracts and his comment in his Autobiography and then in his collection of letters.

"Your letter made me happier than I have ever been."

Roderick encloses (not present) a statement of his conscientious objection and will telephone BR: "It may be slightly redrafted, but the basis is there."

There is a note, in Edith's handwriting, at the foot of the letter, recording BR's objections to the statement:

"No—because does not mention being Communist in Statement

Is a member of "the Party"

Communism and his action in 1950 and Communism and conscientious objection are not compatible

Only know him from this Statement and telephone call and hearsay—have only seen him once or twice and never talked with him."

Roderick encloses his revised statement of conscientious objection (document .103011, record 112922). He wishes he and BR had time to discuss it further; their telephone call tonight was not enough.

To "The Local Tribunal for the Registration of Conscientious Objectors: Statement of Reasons for Application for Registration in the Register of Conscientious Objectors".

The statement cites the Russell-Einstein Manifesto.

"Roddy" wishes BR the best at Saturday's demonstration. He passes along John Conrad's request to see BR at Roddy's place. BR has annotated the letter "Wed 4.30" and "Put away".

"Roddy" mentions that Harriet said he should extend his invitation to Edith, too.
