June informs BR that she has nice leggings and Jackie has new braces. June was perhaps a pupil at Beacon Hill School.

There is a drawing on the verso of the letter.

Drawing. The unfranked envelope is addressed to BR c/o Feakins in New York. Bertram was perhaps a pupil at Beacon Hill School.

The letter is to confirm a booking in this London hotel for grandchildren for the nights of 18 and 19 May. (This was the time of BR's 90th birthday celebrations in London.)

Cooper-Willis praises Anne's work habits and artistry.

Re John Conrad's deferment until after he graduates in February.

Williams knew BR "many years ago", and thanks him for his letter of 26 June 1942.

BR returns "my corrected entry" for the next edition. He and Harriet Ward would be grateful if her name were deleted from his entry.

There is a note attached from Chris Farley: "21.2.70 Barry [Feinberg] please embargo for obvious reasons."

This letter was written in response to a proposed year-book with the title translated into English, Science and Humanity. BR suggests sending a chapter from the book he is working on. BR sends academician Topchiev his best wishes.

(The book was Unarmed Victory.)

BR notes that his book is not finished and thus he cannot send a chapter for the year-book. He sends a shorter article which he is not sure will be acceptable. BR also sends his condolences on the death of academician Topchiev.

The article, not extant here, is "Nuclear War: an American Expert's Forecast" (original typescript at RA1 220.025060).

This is a translation of BR's letter into Russian, 1 sheet. A photocopy of BR's original letter is in Rec. Acq. 1331, record 117712.

There is also a translation into Russian of BR's unpublished "Nuclear War: an American Expert's Forecast", ts. carbon, 10 sheets (RA1 220.025060 for English original.)

York was the student who published an article quoting BR's letter. The letter is clipped at the bottom, presumably to remove York's name.

BR gives advice, suggesting majoring in English. He suggests reading Gibbon at least twice. Perhaps philosophy might be worthwhile. "To form style, the only thing is great familiarity with a certain amount of good writing—familiarity with some is better than wide reading."

BR writes about White's book Toward Reunion in Philosophy. BR does not agree with his views on pragmatism. BR wants to know why Morton has not mentioned anything BR has written in the previous thirty years. He wants a straight answer.

BR thanks Morton for sending him The Age of Analysis. He now understands why Toward Reunion in Philosophy concentrated on his earlier views.

BR supports Glynn's work on opposing biological weapons. BR's admiration for Gandhi was limited. With regard to BR's own views on ethics, he has "never been completely satisfied with them".

Glynn was a collector of documents about BR; also in the file, besides newsclippings about BR, are:

periodicals and tear-sheets and copies of legal documents as follows:

the marriage certificate of the Amberleys (BR's parents)
the death certificate of Lord John Russell
BR's birth certificate
the divorce certificates of Alys Russell and Dora Russell
a photocopy of BR's will dated 1 July 1969.

Re Conrad's return to Dartington.

Evidently Conrad has left Dartington.

Curry invites Conrad to return for a week.

Patricia writes "a beastly letter" on Conrad's uncongenial fellow students at Dartington.

Curry refers to boxes of paper eventually to be picked up by the Russells. "I do hope that Bertie will not feel that the publishers [of Education and Sanity, a copy of which Curry encloses] have interpreted too liberally his kind permission to use his letter in any way they pleased."

[Were these boxes of Archives?]

The boxes have arrived safely with the Russells. Patricia has had an operation.

Curry enjoyed hearing BR talk on Mill. "How marvellously he does that sort of thing and how beautiful his voice sounds on the wireless."

(BR spoke over the BBC on Mill on 18 January 1948.)

[Re Archives.]

This letter was found in a book on 27 Nov. 1998, between pp. 100-1. The book was Herman Weyl's Space, Time, Matter (Russell's Library, no. 2761).

Neville recommends, for Weyl's Geometry, Galboun's Théorie de la Relativité.

BR comments on the article by George P. Grant which Allen enclosed. "It is based upon muddle-headedness as to the logically possibly functions of reason in relation to conduct." BR dealt with this in "Reason and Passion".
