Ogden has agreed to act as a trustee of the wills of Bertrand and Dora Russell.

Jørgensen, from Copenhagen, is the wife of Jørgen Jørgensen, who published a book in Danish on BR in 1935.

BR has written a note on top of her letter. See record 120621.

This note concerns BR's points in B&R C14.03. It was presumably sent to Ogden.

She encloses some complimentary notes about BR's lectures (not present) and a petty cash account. Since the lectures are "The Principles of Social Reconstruction", the letter's date of 1915 must be wrong. This is confirmed by her address, which changes in 1916.

The card concerns the organization of the "Social Reconstruction" lectures.

The letter concerns the audience for BR's "Social Reconstruction" lectures.

May 21 or 28 is suitable for Patricia's speaking date in San Diego.

The enclosed bulletin mentions her upcoming speech.

Perlman encloses a draft article (not present) on the CCNY case.

Patricia returns Perlman's article and encloses (not present) "an account of my husband's pacifist activities during the last war".

Norbert Wiener writes of his first encounters with BR at Cambridge. "As to my research work, Russell's attitude seems to be one of utter indifference, mingled with contempt." [See next day's letter, record 120653.]

Norbert Wiener writes that he had misunderstood BR in his previous letter (record 120652). "He gave me back my paper, with a list of criticisms carefully made out...."

Norbert Wiener writes: "In neither Hardy's nor Russell's course, however, do I have any such difficulty." Wiener was having problems with Baker.

Norbert Wiener writes: "In Russell's work, I have had so far nothing to do. I have been reading way ahead in the Principia, doing much more work than is expected in the course, and I find it quite easy sailing."

Norbert Wiener writes of his consulting with BR. "I thought from what I had read in Russell's books that he tries to base his philosophical dogmas on his mathematical work, but apparently it was the other way round."

Norbert Wiener writes: "I met Santayana at Russell's room Wednesday, and had a pleasant talk with him. It seemed good to meet an American...." "I am hating this country more every day, and the people are such icebergs that I wonder how India can maintain its climate, now that it is a British possession." "My course-work under Mr. Russell is all right, but I am completely discouraged about the work I am doing under him privately." "Russell seemed very dissatisfied, not only with my views, but with my philosophical ability, and with me personally."

Norbert Wiener writes: "Last night I attended the meeting of the Moral Sciences Club at Russell's rooms. Russell read a paper. The whole thing was very formal—the Club is large and unwieldy to be anything but formal." "I have a great dislike for Russell; I cannot explain it completely, but I feel a detestation for the man."

"His mind impresses one as a keen, cold, narrow logical machine, that cuts the universe into neat little packets, that measure, as it were, just three inches each way." "He is, nevertheless, within his limitations, a wonderfully accurate thinker."

Norbert Wiener writes: "It is more encouraging to be criticized by Schmidt than to be praised by Russell."

Either the complete letter does not exist or it was not sent to the Russell Archives. There is no mention by Norbert Wiener of BR in this portion.

Norbert wiener writes: "One of Russell's students is going to write a skit on Russell et al. entitled, "Alice's Adventures in the Backyard Domain", with Russell as the Mad Hatter."

Wiener writes to his father: "I think that Russell expects me to be here next term."

Norbert Wiener writes: "I believe I have helped to sow the seeds of discontent here against the preposterous position of Mr. Russell, who claims that we can be acquainted with certain individual things which we know to be unanalysable: that we can name a thing, without involving any description of it."

"The Galmans seem to be down on Russell, and judging from what they told me of the way he treated his wife [Alys], I don't blame them. And to think that this man is willing to go to parliament as the advocate of woman's rights."

Norbert Wiener writes: "I made a discovery the other day which seems to interest Russell very much."

Norbert wiener writes: "I have a feeling that Russell has a strong dislike for me." "I am sick and tired of Cambridge altogether."

Wiener writes to his father: "I have a feeling Russell is down on me and dislikes me. I have had it all along."

Patricia responds on BR's behalf. She lists 5 aspects of the issue of academic freedom. On the verso is a first draft of the letter.

[On 19 Dec. 2011 K. Blackwell emailed Cornell Library to confirm publication of her letter. It was not published.]

Patricia subsequently edited the text of the letter for use in a speech or statement she gave. See record 120580.

Dora is writing to Wells' family after his death. She would like to pay her last respects to him.

This is a shorter and apparently final version of a letter to be signed by various well-wishers on behalf of Beacon Hill School. Dora seems to have drafted it. It is found with her letter to H.G. Wells of same date, record 120821. A longer draft is at record 120670.

A draft letter written by Dora for signature by others on the topic of Beacon Hill School. This initial draft is longer than the one at record 120669.

The draft is with Dora's letter of same date to H.G. Wells, record 120821.

Patricia discusses the application of a quotation from Icarus.

Lane had asked "What publication of yours would you consider typical of your work as a mathematician?" BR is a "mathematical logician", Patricia says, and refers to Principia Mathematica.

The recipient is a fellow-sufferer of the lack of academic freedom. Patricia advises him to go to the American Association of University Professors.

Patricia is "recovering from a minor operation and feeling very stupid".

Norbert Wiener writes: "Russell agrees with Moore's criticism of my paper, but I cannot bring myself to believe that I can improve it much by writing it all over again."

Norbert Wiener writes: "Russell thinks I had better make a new start at my article, as he thought my first effort was very poor."

Wiener does not think Moore and Russell's criticisms are valid.

Norbert Wiener writes: "I did not rewrite my article completely as I felt that nothing short of a complete giving up of my old opinions would satisfy Moore and Russell, and this I am not prepared to do."

Norbert Wiener writes that his arguments "though not approved by Mr. Moore and Mr. Russell are not completely bad."

Norbert Wiener writes: "... I have just made a very important discovery, which Russell wants me to publish immediately so that he can refer to it in his Lowell Lectures."

(BR did so, in Our Knowledge, and elsewhere.)

Norbert Wiener writes: "Dad says R. [Russell] has written favorable letters about me to Harvard. R. has also said some very complimentary things to me."

Norbert Wiener writes that BR has left for the United States. "I think he will speak favorably of me on the other side. He likes my last piece of work especially well—it is of great importance in the theory of time."

Norbert Wiener writes: "Russell thinks my latest discovery is worth publishing, and he calls it ingenious, although he recognizes it is only an adaptation of his own work. However, I see my way clear to eliminating what is due directly to Mr. Russell in it."

Norbert Wiener writes: "R. [Russell] does not seem at all interested in anything I do. I suppose it is due to the fact that he is so taken up with the war."

Norbert Wiener writes: "Russell isn't giving any symbolic logic this term." "Russell is doing no logical nor philosophical work—his interests at present are entirely political. He will not be teaching at all next year."

"Cambridge is as dead as a mummy of the first dynasty."

Norbert Wiener writes: "I have just sent my 'On Methods of Measurement with a Definite Maximum' to Whitehead following R. [Russell]'s advice. R. does not seem very interested in it or my work generally, though at first he said that it was good."

Pinkerton asks for a list of wars in which the democratic side was victorious.

Patricia provides BR's list of wars, all the most important ones since 1700, in which victory has gone to the more democratic side. [Upon inquiry in December 2011, the newspaper said it has no archivist and suggests consulting microfiche at a public library.]

BR will reason with Colston Leigh, "who is very tiresome".

BR is bound by contract to lecture only when the agent (Colston Leigh) approves, and he takes 50%.

Patricia claims Barnes dropped her suggestion that she contribute facts about BR to the book on the CCNY case. Her snub and his snub. BR is away on a lecture trip. She encloses (not present) notes on BR's marriages, divorces, children, and arrests "and other disgraces"; a more complete bibliography than is found in reference books; Tead's letter; and a letter on immigration (Ensenada, Mexico). "I have an enormous scrap book of newspaper cuttings about the case". (The scrapbook is in the Russell Archives.)

Kallen pleads for Patricia's account of the CCNY case to add to the book.
