"... I am not sure that I wish to say what I think of Shaw, as he is a personal friend, but his opinions seem to be largely both foolish and pernicious." Perhaps when Shaw is dead BR will write it.

The work that BR has "already undertaken makes it impossible for me to promise an article in the near future."

114581

Managing editor Kohler requests an article on Shaw, for which payment would be $100.

114582

Kohler again requests an article on Shaw from BR, this time promising not to use it until Shaw's death.

114583

BR "would rather enjoy writing an article on Shaw", but could not do it until the winter. He asks for the length and fee. "As for delaying publication until he is dead, I should like to write the article first and then see whether its publication would be likely to hasten that lamentable event."

114584
$150 is the fee, for between 3,000 and 7,000 words.
114585

BR "will do the article on Shaw as soon as I have worked through earlier obligations, which will probably be about six months from now." Not to be published in Shaw's lifetime.

"As your fee is not large, I assume you will not object to simultaneous publication in England."

114586

The Quarterly still hopes to have an article by Russell.

114587

The Quarterly does not object to simultaneous publication of BR's essay on Shaw in England, although it should not appear there before it appears in the Quarterly.

114588

Kohler reminds Russell of his intention to write an article on Shaw.

114589

Russell's intention is to send the promised article on Shaw very soon. "Meanwhile, there is no indication that it will be called for for some time to come."

114590

"I am sending it [the article on Shaw] on the explicit understanding that it will not be published, or shown outside your office, until he is dead."

114591

The Quarterly is pleased to receive Russell's article on Shaw and encloses a draft for $150. More articles would be welcome.

114592

BR hopes there will be no objection if some "closely similar" phrases in his VQR article also appear in The Listener.

114593

Russell is asked to correct the enclosed proof of his Shaw article for publication in the December issue, make any additions, and return it as quickly as he can.

114594

Kohler has learned that BR is in the U.S. and sends proof of his article to him at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton. She congratulates him on winning the Nobel Prize.

In the file at this point are several Nobel clippings of BR and Faulkner, as well as BR's initialled corrected proof.

114595

BR's proof arrived in time. "A great deal of interest has already been expressed in your article on Mr. Shaw...." BR's copy will be mailed by the end of the week.

114596

BR thanks Mr. Farr for his kindness to his family and encloses keys (not present) "which will be needed whenever it becomes possible to have our crates and boxes sent off." Written on Peacock Inn letterhead.

Farr's address is 1 Pennstone Rd., Bryn Mawr, PA.

114597

BR thanks Farr "for all the trouble you have taken" (probably in connection with sending the Russells' crates and boxes to England). BR is sending "the money" to Mrs. Foot [Anne Foot, widow of John Foot].

He also thanks Farr for his kind remarks on History of Western Philosophy.

114598

Patricia thanks the Farrs for looking after the Russells' boxes. She refers to not having seen the Foot children. "Mr. Twaddell was not my admirer, he was Kate's!" (This is Edward Twadell, according to Caroline Farr.)

114599

"Melian coming this weekend".

114600

"It is not at all true that I love you less".
