Tylor thanks BR for his letter of 26 September, and for enclosing a cheque of £200 for the deed of covenant.

Pigott reports that Tylor has gone into the provinces on business, though he wishes BR to know that he had a very helpful meeting with Sir Stanley Unwin regarding the death duty problems, which he will inform BR of in a few days.

BR asks Tylor if he is in London the week of 4 November, he would like to see him at 43 Hasker Street to discuss the Corsham Art School bill as well as the problem of the death duties.

Tylor writes that he will visit BR at Hasker Street during the week of 4 November.

"I have not yet heard from the Corsham Art School, but I see from my files that while the bills for the summer and spring terms were rendered at the beginning of those terms, the bill for last autumn term was submitted during the course of the term, so it may be that we should not have received the bill as yet."

Tylor informs BR that he has discussed the estate duty scheme with Madams and Child's bank. "Mr. Madams confirmed my fears that you would incur a liability for income tax and surtax if you were to sell the copyrights to Lady Russell." Because of this the scheme was changed slightly, and that he will be sending out a memo to BR the following week.

A frustrated and annoyed BR writes that as they have been at this estate duty issue for months, "I entirely fail to understand why in the intervening weeks you had not confirmed its legal and tax aspects." He informs Tylor that he must return to Wales the following Wednesday, and that he would be grateful if a plan could be worked out, based on the correct legal position Tylor has ascertained, for Tuesday, the 19th.

Tylor apologizes to BR that he has been inconvenienced. He will have the figures and details of the revised scheme and ideas for the Russells' wills the following morning.

Tylor has received the account regarding Anne's board residence from the Bath Academy of Art.

He quotes the Bursar's letter, referring to education grants, as stating, "May I remind you that students admitted to courses leading to the diploma in art and design are entitled to receive from their local education authorities the maximum standard grant covering payment of approved tuition fees and a grant for maintenance in accordance with the Ministry of Education's university and other awards regulations 1962."

"If you have not already done so, you should make immediate application to Miss Russell's local education authority for full particulars concerning these grants for the 1963/64 session."

Tylor asks if this has been brought up with the local education authorities, or if BR would like it done.

Tylor informs Edith that her and BR's wills, along with the draft settlement for the grandchildren, are nearly complete, save for two subject points.

The first regards the wish that Edith and BR wished to reduce Ruby Griffiths' legacy to £50 and include a legacy for Margaret Edwards. However, Tylor did not take note of Edwards' address, and requests the information.

The second regards Edith's executors, which in her existing will are Miss Louise Watson and Miss Isabel H. Benham, and Tylor's partner Charles Dover and himself are the appointed English trustees. "Under the new arrangements whereby Lord Russell will receive a life interest in the whole of your estate and the trustees are to be empowered to pay capital to him if the need arises, I think the whole of the residuary estate should be held by the English trustees who will be more accessible to Lord Russell and probably more familiar with Lord Russell's finances." Tylor offers two ways of arranging this, and asks Edith for her view on the issue.

Edith's mother has now died, and Edith has revoked her legacy to Bryn Mawr.

BR forwards to Tylor letters that seem relevant to Harriet's parentage (not present), stating that there are many more that refer to the matter. However, he feels the thirteen he's included are conclusive. "They also seem to indicate why I thought this pregnancy was regarded by Dora as a mistake and that there would be no more, and why for everyone's future happiness it seemed at the time necessary for me to accept the fictitious parentage and responsibility. When Roddy was born, I could no longer believe either in a mistake or in the need of my acceptance."

BR asks that if Tylor feels that these letters are conclusive, then is there no need for him to find the court documents. He also asks Tylor if he personally would deal with the matter.

There is a handwritten note by Edith attached listing the dates of the letters BR has included.

BR suspects that the court documents are "at the bottom of the bottom box—if they are here at all—and there many boxes." Hunting in them "is a gruelling business."

[Edith's list of relevant letters should be checked against documents in the Russell Archives.]

BR and Edith thank Tylor for his letters. They have not yet applied for Anne's grant, as they thought it was only given when there is need.

Regarding Tylor's letter to Edith, BR writes that she agrees that the executors of her will should be English, and should be Tylor and Charles Drover, omitting Miss Watson and Miss Benham. BR provides Margaret Edwards' address.

Tylor thanks BR for his letter of 27 November, and writes that he is making enquiries regarding the grant for Anne.

He is glad Edith agrees with him regarding the executors, feeling that this will simplify the administration upon her death, and that the draft documents are being completed.

The messages below from Constance Malleson are contained in Gladys Rinder's letter to BR, document .054821, record 79616.

"C.O'N.: It was blessed getting your letter. I was so glad, gladder than I can say about your Roads to Freedom. I came back on Sunday and had tea with Elizabeth [Russell] yesterday. I have two or three jobs under discussion but nothing definite. The rush is as usual awful. I have been worried to death this last month over Marie but she is now in a nursing home having had an operation, and is getting well again. I had a further £2 from Gordon yesterday. Heard Bell speak one day this week but his personality didn't impress me much. I go quite a lot to the gallery at the opera. It is tremendously refreshing at the end of the day.... Your nice friend Grenfell came to Bell's lecture with Litvinoff. What you wrote about keeping in touch with the world is so exactly what I've been thinking lately. I meet so many people who have taken refuge from it by cutting themselves off and becoming selfish. Your picture of the world now is almost identical with Tolstoy's description of the French army after Moscow—a dumb, dying animal. Miles's new volume comes out on Monday, Lady Constance will bring you a copy on Wednesday. I saw G.D.H. Cole dining with his fiancée the other night. I feel we shall none of us ever see C.A. [Clifford Allen] again. I suppose the war will still go on even if France comes out.—end C O'N."

"From G.J.: I have been thinking a good deal about our friend Monsieur Chatsauvage [Colette's nickname for BR] and his new book. He reminds me continually of Tolstoy's Prince Andrei, and also of Count Bezukhov. One is apt to attribute only to foreigners that peculiar charm that comes of a 'highly spiritual and intellectual life'. Chatsauvage certainly has this quality peculiarly developed. I also find in him that terrific concentrated Heraklietos outlook on the world, the 'dry soul' combined with all this[.] [T]here is about his work a terrific simplicity and a childlike loveableness curiously reminiscent of Pierre Bezukhov."

This message to Percy, i.e. Constance Malleson, is contained in a letter from Russell to his brother, Frank Russell, document .079981, record 46902.

"To Miss Rinder ... Please inform Percy that I rejoice to be the object of his continued and unalterable esteem and that it is mutual."

Tylor thanks BR for his letter of 27 November, and the thirteen letters he enclosed with it regarding Harriet's parentage.

Tylor encloses the engrossments of wills for BR and Edith, along with a draft of settlement by Edith for the grandchildren (document .101716, record ).

Tylor asks BR that if the will is satisfactory, then to insert the date in the blank spaces and sign it, and to return it to him.

An explanatory note on the wills of Lord and Lady Russell and on a draft of a settlement to be made by Lady Russell.

Enclosed with document .101716, record 116631.

These are Edith's notes on wills for herself and BR.

BR thanks Tylor for his letter of 13 December and its enclosed documents. He writes that Edith and he have found a number of changes they would like made concerning certain clauses and the settlement, which he outlines in this letter.

There is a handwritten note in the upper left corner, "Draft".

Letter is the updated letter, requesting BR and Edith's changes to the will. Drafted copy is document .101719, record 116634.

Tylor responds to BR's letter of 17 December, regarding changes to be made to the wills.

BR thanks Tylor for his letter of 24 December, and addresses the issue raised by Tylor regarding Plas Penrhyn and 43 Hasker Street.

Tylor thanks BR for his letter of 3 January, and its enclosed cheque of £190 regarding his granddaughters' allowances for the new term.

Tylor encloses the revised engrossments of the wills for BR and Edith (not present). In this letter he comments on clauses in both BR's will and Edith's will as well as the settlements.

There is a handwritten postscript which states, "I find that there is no 'e' in Ann's name on her birthday certificate".

BR thanks Tylor for the wills and draft of settlement, and informs him that they will be signed once they find two witnesses, as they are satisfied with this version.

BR also thanks Tylor for correcting them on the spelling of Anne's name. [Although Tylor found it should be "Ann", it is in BRACERS as "Anne".]

Tylor encloses a note with his firm's charges for the half year ending 30 September 1963 (not present).

There is a handwritten note in the upper left corner stating, "Ans/cheque sent 21/1/64".

Tylor thanks BR for returning the wills of himself and Edith, along with the draft settlement, the latter of which is being prepared to be signed.

He informs BR that he has written to Brown, Shipley & Co.

Tylor thanks BR for his cheque of £101.16.8, sent 21 January. "I return my firm's account duly receipted."

Enclosed is a receipt of BR's payment, and an updated account statement.

Tylor writes "... to acknowledge receipt of the settlement which you have executed."

"I understand that Brown, Shipley & Company Limited have prepared transfers in respect of the securities being settled and have either sent them to you or will be doing so within the course of the next few days."

Tylor writes that the renewal notice regarding BR's fire insurance policy for 43 Hasker Street has been received, and that it was assured for only £4,750. "As, under your lease, you are under an obligation to insure the building 'in the full value thereof' it was felt that this fire insurance cover was insufficient". Therefore the insurance was raised to £7,000, and Coward, Chance made the premium payment of £8.15.0 on BR's behalf, and requests the amount from BR in due course.

BR writes that Tylor was correct in altering the insurance on 43 Hasker Street, and encloses a cheque for the premium.

Response is written on the verso of document .101731, record 116645.

Tylor thanks Edith for her letter of 24 February. "As regards the transfers of the settlement securities, I understand from Brown, Shipley that they have now been stamped and that they are in course of registering them with the companies concerned. The dividends will be mandated to the trustees."

Regarding the matter concerning Harriet, Tylor informs Edith that a new registrar general has been appointed, who is considering the matter and has requested the original letters BR sent to Tylor on 27 November 1963.

There is a handwritten "O.K." by Edith next to the paragraph regarding Harriet.

Tylor writes that he's received a final proof from Debrett's Peerage regarding the entry of BR's family (enclosed). He points out that there is no longer a mention of Harriet, and requests confirmation from BR that the rest of the entry is correct.

Coward, Chance enclose a letter from Proud at Lewis W. Taylor & Co. to Tylor, as per Edith's request.

Enclosed is document .101735, record 116650.

Re Viscount Amberley.

Proud writes that he's heard from Dora, and that John Russell is at Carn Voel. He states that Dora is shocked that the three children will not be visiting him.

Proud quotes Dora's letter: "'John's behaviour with the girls and his social behaviour is both correct and almost normal; apart from an air of absentmindedness and some times when one hears him talk to himself, one would never think there was anything wrong with him at all. The local people here would all say that John is perfectly all right. Only I know from these written outpouring about the fantasies—we all have something like them but we are able to keep them down. They are never communicated orally by John.... There is absolutely no reason why the girls should not visit him. They are quite aware that he is mentally ill, they manage him well, they do him good and they really love him—are among the few people who do. It is cruel to deprive him of occasional visits."

He states that Dora, therefore, will not agree to deferring visits and will be in London on Monday.

Enclosed with document .101734, record 116649.

Document is an affidavit of Edith Russell regarding custody of the grandchildren and John's now sexually oriented writing.

Holland informs Edith that Tylor has fallen ill, and therefore unable to report on the hearing of the summons, which occurred 25 March.

Holland details the hearing for Edith. He informs her that an order was made, and has enclosed a copy (document .101738, record 116653).

Document is Dora's affidavit.

Attached is a note from Lewis W. Taylor & Co. stating, "Exhibit 9 compromises your letters to us dated 13 and 20th March and our letters to you dated 16th 20th and 23rd March" (all of which are enclosed).

Enclosed with document .101737, record 116652.

Photocopied letter is a response to Proud's letter regarding the children visiting John at Carn Voel.

Tylor writes, "As I explained, the three children would normally be going down to stay with Mrs. Grace and John at Carn Voel on or about 25th March subject to delay due to the fact that one of the children will probably have to have an operation for appendicitis."

Enclosed with document .101737, record 116652.

Re Viscount Amberley.

Proud thanks Tylor for his letter of 13 March and its enclosures, and has written to Dora for further instruction.

Enclosed with document .101737, record 116652.

Tylor writes that they have been pressed for time, due to the imminent Easter holidays.

"As you have not been in a position to let me have Mrs. Grace's views on my letter to you of 13th March, I have had to arrange for the taking of affidavit evidence today, because Lord and Lady Russell are in Wales. To avoid delay I am now sending you, for your information, two copies of the affidavit in the form in which I understand it has been sworn" (not present).

Enclosed with document .101737, record 116652.

Re Viscount Amberley.

Document is another photocopy of Proud's letter to Tylor on 20 March 1964.

Re Viscount Amberley.

Proud thanks Tylor for his letter of 20 March and its enclosures. He informs him that Dora will be arriving in London that evening, and is not prepared to agree to deferring the girls' visits.

"I note that a copy of Exhibit ECR2 is to come and we also of course require the details to enable clause 7 to be completed in the copies of Lady Russell's affidavit."

Enclosed with document .101737, record 116652.

"This is the exhibit marked D.W.G.7 referred to in the affidavit of Dora Winifred Grace sworn herein this 24th day of March 1964...."

Document is the front page of Dora's affidavit, signed by a commissioner of oaths.

Enclosed with document .101737, record 116652.

Dr. Morgan informs Proud that he has not seen John Russell for about six months.

"When I last saw him he was certainly much better than I have ever seen him previously. The incoherent writings to which reference has been made represent an attempt on his part to batter his way through the problem in the light of which he has become ill. I do not look upon them as a particularly serious manifestation."

Dr. Morgan writes that he has never known John as anything but gentle, and that he understands his relationship with his children to be excellent, seeing no reason why he should not be allowed to have them visit.

The transcriber couldn't decipher "Pirries" correctly. Mr. Pirrie is referred to in document .079990, record 46925.

This message from Constance Malleson is contained in a letter from Frank and Elizabeth Russell, document .079984, record 46923. She uses her pseudonym "Percy" and includes a message from "G.J.", who is also another of her identities.

"Percy says 'am reading the Boigne memoirs with great interest and amusement. Read Anna Karenina during last week end at Priscilla's. It seems just a little banal after War and Peace. G.J. wishes me to say that I brought Miss Wrinch back to the attic after Hilda Meynell's last concert and met Joad for the first time. One meets Nevinson everywhere, but I find I do not get any further with him so he remains just an acquaintance. It is despairing about C.A. [Clifford Allen] will he ever return to normal activities. I feel we shall not be asked to Hawse End this year!! Tomorrow Basil, Miles and I go to Nimmy not for the week end. I go with mixed feelings. (End of message from Percy)."

Frank writes: "I have just left Miles chuckling to himself over Howard's End, while C. vainly endeavours to ascertain whether there will be any butter for the week end."

This message from Percy (Constance Malleson) appears in the original letter, document .079993, record 46927.

"Percy sends this message 'It is a great thing that Lytton has done in desentimentalising Miss Nightingale. His picture of her is ever so faintly reminiscent of C.E.M. [Catherine Marshall], but with good judgment and something really terrific inside; just that indispensable volcanic quality which seems to me to be absolutely necessary to really great achievement. The way Lytton brings out the gradual demand for expression of Manning's mean ambitious side is a triumph of subtle observation. One can hardly quarrel with the book's deliberate showing up of the mesquin [French for mean, petty] side of these characters when their other side has I suppose been universally proclaimed, nevertheless, it leaves one saturated with ungenerosity. When I was a child Gordon was my great hero and I still have a sneaking admiration for the twisted, knobbly, pigheaded adventure of the man. End Percy."

The above message concerns Eminent Victorians.

The letter contains the following mentions of Colette: "Miss Wrinch had your ms yesterday, and Lady C. had the philosophical work."

"We had an impromptu party on Tuesday, C. came for a picnic meal, and Miles and Dorothy W. [Wrinch] dropped in, and we all became most frivolous."

This letter is a typed copy of the original letter, document .079994, record 46928. It contains corrections and an annotation (that "S.S." is Sassoon) in BR's hand. Its carbon is document .079995a.

The letter may not have been published. It was enclosed with Irving Kristol's letter of 17 May 1956 (record 70800). Glazer has written his name and address and corrections on the letter.

This message to Colette is contained in BR's letter to Frank Russell, document .079998, record 46930.

"Please tell Lady Constance I am glad to hear from E. that she has agreeable prospects and I hope they will materialize. I will send back Bergson by you and let her call for it, please say."

The agreeable prospects were the possibility of a 3-year engagement in London. The Bergson book presumably contained a private letter for Colette.

"Many thanks for 'Spectator' review." (This sentence was addressed to Gladys Rinder, who supplied the review. The letter to her seems not to be extant. This is obviously the "general moralizing" enclosed with it.)

This is a letter "to All and Sundry". In letter, document .200324, record 19337, BR writes: "There is a letter to Miss Rinder somewhere and some general moralizing about 'Spectator' review. Please pass on both after reading. The general moralizing is addressed to All and Sundry." The original of this letter is not extant.

There are three other typed copies: 

Document .200299h, record 19333;
Document .007052fp (folio 579), record 93482;
Document .200299g (the carbon of this document), record 116687.

The version selected for the Transcription is that of the current record 116687. Although it has what must be a misreading of BR's hand ("got" for "get" in "And when once men get away from their rights"), the typing is part of a booklet of BR's prison letters typed by Alex. McLachlan, Literary Typing Specialist. The alternative, document .200299H, record 19333, is on A4 paper, which is later in the history of stationery.

This document is addressed to "W.G.R.", i.e. Gladys Rinder. Her first initial was W.; she always used her second name.

"I have been thinking about some casuistical conundrums which I desire to submit to the collective wisdom of the National Committee...."

In letter, document .200324, record 19337, BR writes: "Near the end [of the book in which correspondence was hidden to smuggle out of prison] you will find some moral problems upon which I want light from Salter's subtle brain."

This letter has no salutation, closing or date. It begins: "I am sorry about Rimbaud." It is the last third of document .001489f, record 18683.

An even shorter extract (the paragraph about the canary and the ourang-outang has been removed) appears in "Extracts from Letters written by the Hon. Bertrand Russell in Brixton Prison, August 1918", sent to Gilbert Murray and located in Rec. Acq. 71e, record 52372.

This message from Percy is contained in Gladys Rinder's letter to BR, document .054834, record 79629.

"Percy goes today to St. Margarets Bay to 'stay with Priscilla until next Wed.' Will write to me from there on Monday so that I shall have the letter before I see you on Wed. Just heard this from him. The change should be beneficial, he has found the heat trying."

"Percy" was a childhood nickname for Constance Malleson.

This letter never reached Brett in 1918. According to a note on the letter by Elizabeth Trevelyan, it fell out of a book in 1923, one that had been lent to BR when he was in prison. Elizabeth Trevelyan is identified as the writer of the note in document .047686, record 75046. The letter mainly concerns Brett's deafness.

There are two typed transcriptions of this letter:

Document .047685, record 75045
Document .047686, record 75046

There is also a handwritten transcription:

Rec. Acq. 284, record 55538.

"There never was such a place as prison for crowding images...." The letter is identified by Edith Russell as being for Ottoline, even though there is a heading "(For any one whom it may interest)". This identification is found in another transcription, document .007052ft, record 9348b.

In the Autobiography both designations are used.

There is another transcription, Rec. Acq. 14, record 117686.

This letter is very similar to the beginning of document .104579hk, letter no. 217, record 113153. It is titled "Extract from a Letter to Bertrand Russell from Lady Constance Malleson dated 25 August 1918". Colette has noted on it that it most probably was not sent.

There is a literary version written on the same day and location which is vaguely related to this letter:

Ribbon copy, document .201163, record 116282;
Carbon copy, document .052400, record 99866.

"Summons adjd. Generally with liberty to restore—upon next friend's undertaking not knowingly to allow the petitioner to be with any of the children unless accompanied by another adult, and upon next friend's undertaking to arrange for Dr. Morgan to report as soon as possible upon petitioner's health and condition, and the interveners' undertaking to pay Dr. Morgan's fee.

"Next friend's costs to be fixed or agreed and to be paid by the interveners.

"Dates for Easter holiday access to be agreed."

Coward, Chance enclose a copy of a letter from D.L. Taylor of Lewis W. Taylor & Co., 1 April 1964.

"You will see that Mr. Taylor offers to let us instruct Dr. Morgan in connection with the proposed examination of Viscount Amberley as provided in the recent order of Mr. Justice Stirling." However, this means BR would have to pay Dr. Morgan's fee.
