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".

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".

This letter was hand-delivered to BR by Mason. There is no evidence the letter ever arrived at McMaster with Russell Archives 2, but it was quoted at length in "Private Memorandum on Ralph Schoenman", which Ronald Clark reprinted in the appendix of his Life of Bertrand Russell, pp. 647-8.

A photocopy of the latter has been placed in the file with BR's reply, which was obtained from Mason (record 119151).

Original letter is in Houghton Library, Harvard.

BR refused to send Rayman a photograph but does sign the letter, which provided an autograph.

On 19 March 1957 BR dictated a letter to a Mr. Reyman. The text indicates he is enclosing a signed photograph (record 15482).

This is a copy of a letter from Dora Russell to the Elmhirsts concerning Beatrix Tudor-Hart. It was not signed and was addressed to Mr. Curry by hand.
