Curry has visited Dora Russell at Beacon Hill School.

Dora will not stand in the way of Grizel Mair taking a post with Curry.

Re seeing a play at Dartington.

Re Curry's subscription to an unspecified organization.

The letter is marked "Confidential". It concerns Dora's worry over the rumours that Dartington Hall School is taking over Beacon Hill School and that the 2 Russell children will no longer be pupils at Beacon Hill.

Curry addresses Dora's concerns. He has told no one that Dartington is taking over Beacon Hill. BR had visited Dartington but only to check out the school if Beacon Hill had to be closed.

Re Beacon Hill's brand of microscope.

Re a visit from the Currys.

Re visiting Dartington.

Re Dora's pending visit.

On Paul Gillard's death. Dora mentions having had a lunch with two other Gillards and herself with Curry.

Curry can provide no information on "the young man in Plymouth who knew" Paul Gillard.

On Terry Gordon, an ex-Beacon Hill pupil now at Bedales.

On Paul Gillard.

Badley of Bedales and Curry are coming to see the Beacon Hill plays.

The Stokowski couple are staying at Dartington. [BR later stayed with the Leopold Stokowskis near Philadelphia.]

Curry sends his regrets to the children and staff of Beacon Hill School. This is presumably typed on the verso of an invitation from "children and staff of Beacon Hill School".

Re the rumour that Bryanston School is to have camp in the holidays for German Nazi boys.

Curry agrees that the New Schools Association should not tolerate Nazi school representatives. Nazis have suppressed his and Dora's kind of school in Germany and confiscated their funds.

Curry encloses (not present) a reply from Coade of the New Schools Association.

Dora comments on Coade's letter (not present) on whether to extend tolerance to Hitler youth, Boy Scouts or public school camps. She remarks on the fatal attitude of German Social Democrats in being "all things to all men".

Enclosed (not present) is a letter on Russia.

BR has selected passages in the letter.

BR urges her to read his open letter to President Wilson. BR has edited the letter and noted at the top: "[Should come first]".

"Saturday afternoon."

BR has selected a passage in the letter.

Enclosed is a letter from Anatole France (not present).

BR has annotated it at the top: "O. whole letter".

This is a transcription of letter number 1466 which is a letter fragment (record 18653). The first two lines of letter number 1466 have not been transcribed.

The letter is dated July 1917, but the date comes from the handwritten letter in which both the date and the location were added in Lady Ottoline's hand. Russell was at the Feathers on 30 July in Ludlow. On 31 July he had moved to The Avenue, nicknamed Boismaison, in Ashford Carbonell.

"I have left the Feathers and moved into a farm about 3 miles from Ludlow—it is delicious country. I have been sleeping 10 hours every night, and have grown full of vigour. I have thought very little. I am coming home Friday...." He came home on Friday, 17 August, which would indicate that this was written in August, after Friday, 10 August.

 

"Postmark 13th (or 15th)."

BR has annotated Brett.

BR has written at the top: "O. this letter".

"Monday."

BR has annotated "I have undertaken to write a book", as "published as Roads to Freedom".

BR has omitted part of the letter.

BR went and sat in Westminster Cathedral for some time.
