A reply voucher for a prepaid telegram. The handwritten portion reads: "A 65 CR 2 Paris 012081 42 2B 1700 addressed to Lord Bertram Russell, Plas Penrhyn.... [Name and address of Sender] Lord Bertram Russell, Plas Penrhyn Penrhyndeudraeth ATT".

From Edith Russell's transcription when she was Edith Finch:

"About Bertie's sudden change of views I agree. He said to me too in London that he would rather have England and his children Nazified—this in answer to my question—than another war. But he added he believed undoubtedly Germany would undergo a change of heart once the wrongs of the last war etc. were righted. He lacks imagination, human intelligence is it?—something that invalidates his ethics and social theory."

"Taken to Bryn Mawr College on Long Indefinite Loan in June 1949".

"I was on the point of writing to you, when your charming letter arrived. I hear of so many different Americas—Bertie's, Berenson's, Carey's, that the result is rich, but confusing."

"I have undertaken a dangerous task—to make an anthology with Robert Bridges, who is our neighbour here. I don't know whether it will go very far, as we don't altogether agree about the best things. He likes depth of thought—I care more for singing music. So far we have only done Shakespeare's Sonnets. I will send you our best, as it may amuse you—numbers 18, 29, 30, 31, 60, 65, 73, 97, 98, 102, 106, 116, 129, 146.—Numbers 18, 65, 73, I like the best; numbers 31, 129, 146 he likes best, so our differences come out clearly. Bertie's list is a good one—numbers 18, 25, 30, 60, 65, 73, 97, 106, 116, 129."

"You have no doubt heard of Bertie's plan of standing for Parliament—I rather regret that he should turn, even temporarily, from the things of the mind and the scholar's life to the great hubbub of politics, but he is a restless soul and I suppose like Kubla Khan he 'hears from far / As astral voices prophesying war!' To have one's family change in middle years their way of life (the Berensons going into the world and the Russells into politics) is a spectacle which I watch with interest, but not the slightest desire, or hint of a desire, to follow their example."

"Alys and Bertie have left Bagley Wood, which is sad; but Cambridge is a much better place for Bertie and he seems very happy there."

"In 1967 The Earl Bertrand Russell agreed that we should have world rights in his contribution to the book Einstein: The Man and his Achievement, which we published in the United Kingdom in that year, and in 1968 he agreed the publication of a Spanish translation and a reprint of the English edition with annotations in Japanese. ... We are currently negotiating with a publisher in the U.S.A. for an edition to be produced there."

A blank Western Union telegram form with an attached sticker noting where to send a reply and prices.

"Helen finally decided on one in Pennstone, the one the Russells had last year—where I pray they may be fairly comfortable."

"You have probably heard that Bertie Russell has been made Fellow of Trinity again and goes back this summer to Cambridge, the place he loves best in the world. He is very happy, looking forward to ending his days in his old College peacefully, if indeed he can find peace in any place or person. I wonder indeed will Peter let him in Cambridge or be offended haughtily by this and that. Fred may be amused to hear that they are living at the old Peacock Inn at Princeton. Going over for some lectures Bertie was to give before Xmas they found it comfortable ... But with Trinity in the offing a fig now for Bishop Manning...."

Re the Mathematical Meeting at Bryn Mawr College in Mrs. Scott's honour (see record 122484). "As you see we are bringing Mr. Whitehead over from England for the occasion. When Miss Thomas was talking of it the other day, it occurred to me you might be interested to come...."

The cheque is for a subscription to the international air edition (see record 6805). The cheque was deposited but returned by the bank because the amounts on it differed.

Russell's account no. with Child & Co. is either BN 076236 or 1505 (although the latter is more likely the number of the cheque).

The document number was formerly 110575.

Enclosed with record 10241.

The document number was formerly 110577.

The document number was formerly 110578.

Written in Edith's hand on an envelope and attached to the correspondence of A. Potts. Re his demand for a reply from BR. There is a note in reply to Edith, presumably from Pamela Wood.

Notes headed "The Baghdad Railway since 1903". The first page is a bibliography, with nothing published later than 1914. The topic is dealt with by BR in The Policy of the Entente (1915), though none of this literature is cited there. The handwriting is unidentified.

Addressed to: "Dear Sir". Letter is unsigned. "All honour to you for your letter in the Manchester Guardian today ... The bravest man in England today is the conscientious objector...."

The sender calls Lloyd George "The biggest traitor and coward in this country today ... he has two sons in the Army and they have never been within 2 miles of the smell of Powder. Their father tells them to keep out of danger."

The card is signed "Woman" and was received during BR's campaign in Chelsea as Labour candidate. She asks what BR proposes to do regarding employment, revival of the export trade and the development of agriculture.

"I am writing to ask if there is any more news with regard to Lord Russell's collection of manuscripts and would be grateful if you would let me know how you are getting on."

"BR has suddenly raised the question of seeing the catalogue before he writes an introduction! Is that possible?"

The letter is unsigned. The person has read BR's article on education in the June Atlantic Monthly.

The letter is signed "A Chelsea Voter".

"The fact that you make no mention of Ireland in your [Election] address shows me that you are not a practical man, but a mere dreamer—".

The letter is from "a neutral (Denmark)", who praises the Allies' "heroic effort" to deliver Europe from "the evil spirit of Prussia".

The letter is unsigned. Dated by BR.

"Cannot you two ancient animals not, even yet, leave matters of sex alone?" 
"Incidentally let them consider the latest portrait of Bertrand! Less fleshy, but more evilly arrogant, than Oscar Wilde's and it exhibits the latter's cardinal trait."

Letter is unsigned. "You stand before the world now, the voicer of blasphemy."
"Civilization you have defined as 'forethought'. Clever!
Christ you have condemned. Most advanced!
Man you have belittled as a mere mass of dirt. Quite modern!
What will you do with your own soul?
You will try to define it, and fail, and let your failure justify your every blasphemy. 
You are judged."

Also in file: a transcription (TL); also a TL(CAR).

"Thank you for your moving and magnificent talk on the H-bomb."

"I must congratulate you on your wonderful speech which we have just been listening to. And I am inclined to add Morituri te salutamus."

"We have studied very carefully The Archives of Bertrand Russell but I am afraid we do not see how we can make use of them for the Magazine."

"A fellow I know asked me to forward the enclosed materials to you, he claiming to know you under the name by which he addresses you in his letter.... I certainly hope you will think carefully before having anything much to do with such a fellow...." Enclosed is further correspondence; and legal documents concerning Julie Chapul and R. Montague.

"La souffrance, la betise...."

"I am returning your notebook herewith. I have nothing to add to the things that I have already published."

"We witnessed the spontaneous spacetime-akasa birth of the monad-nucleus of orioxidental civilizacion c final integral calculus". 
Letter is signed:
"Technosophically,
Leibnitz Spinoza Berkeley Sankara Buddha, c transcendental n-dimensional Turiya".

"You will note that the BBC and Press always give publicity to news about the human animal fighting."

"In a T.V. appearance, you said your brother, teaching you Euclid—said, some things must be believed that cannot be proved—or progress could not be made."

A newspaper clipping is attached. Letter is from a 57-year-old Australian, signed "Realist". "... my opinion is if nuclear war develops, the West, or shall we say, capitalism, will be mainly responsible.... Who shall say real communism is wrong? Certainly not the ragged children, the whining beggars, the hungry of India or the havenots of any country."

A fish bookmark with John 21:10 on the back. 
"The House of Prayer" is a document that is enclosed.
A list of bible verses with "God Bless You!" written at the bottom.

The signature appears to be in Arabic. Letter includes a newsclip on which the sender comments. The article is titled "Florida Segregationist Asks Purge of 'Three Little Pigs'".
