"It would be a mistake to give me an opportunity of saying all the offensive things that patriotism and politeness induce me to bottle up."

This is a long list of great men in history who would presumably be on the side of academic freedom for Russell. It is similar to the list at record 120731. The last piece is a note card with the addresses of Justice Stone, Professor Marshall Stone, and Lauson Stone.

BR encloses "some private memoirs" for safekeeping with Unwin.

The enclosure, titled "Private Memoirs", is a 12-leaf typed carbon. Also in file: dictated manuscript of the memoirs, dated 26 December 1955, with additions.

Also in file: early versions of some leaves, with an additional leaf in BR's hand; some leaves are ribbon copies, some are carbons.

This is not the ribbon copy of the final version, which must have been sent to Unwin; it is not known what became of the ribbon copy of the final version, but a photocopy of what is presumed to be the ribbon copy was sent anonymously to Ronald W. Clark, who gave a copy to John G. Slater. The Russell Research Centre has a photocopy of it. BR made all the verbal corrections on both copies of the final version, and the formation of the letters in some cases on the photocopy of the ribbon copy is slightly different from that of the above carbon copy in the Russell Archives.

Edith writes of BR: "Lonely, of course, he always was, except for relatively short periods, throughout his life."

See Edith Russell's papers (RA3 967) for Harley's letters to her.

Edith writes: "You make my blood run cold by your references to Mr. [Ronald] Clark's damning criticisms!"

Edith writes of Ronald Clark's book: "My greatest fear is that too much credence will be given it and that some of the vast mass of detail as chosen and interpreted by the author will be the source of 'two thousand years of important error'—if the human race survives so long."

She writes of her experience in Brixton Prison as in part "frightening".

Edith comments on Ronald Clark's opinion about BR writing for money as "unmitigated tosh". "When he called a book of his a 'pot-boiler', he usually meant that he was writing something that seemed to him to be readily evident to those who would think for themselves. He felt that about The Conquest of Happiness."

"... BR never published anything, by way of written or spoken word, that was not entirely sincere."

Edith writes: "Yes, I did ride horses bareback in a circus in Paris—the Cirque d'Hiver. But I never gave a public performance. It was great fun training for it, however, and exhilarating jumping through hoops and vaulting about. I was very proud that they offered me a job—and now I regret that I hadn't the courage to accept."

Edith thinks very highly of Kate Tait's book. "It seems to be beautiful in its simplicity and pure sincerity."

Edith wishes she could accept David's wedding invitation.

This telegram message is attached to document .016316, record 112021. The telegram is from Cambridge.

"In the circumstance think it better to have meeting in Lent term Shove".

Alys watched the awarding of BR's Fellowship from his window at Trinity College. "Then the holy spirit revealed the names of the the four Fellows, and these were announced to an expectant crowd waiting in the drizzling mist outside." "Bertie's friends soon came rushing over to tell him."

BR would like to lecture on logic at Bryn Mawr. She asks that Carey Thomas find him a pupil for six lectures after Easter. Lady John Russell does not "seem any nearer dying." They will soon leave England for Berlin until Christmas. "Our cottage [the Millhangar] is progressing slowly—'the poor white slave' has been doing all the hard work. We unpacked all of Bertie's furniture, and some of the china is lovely, but nothing else of much interest."

The letter is written from their cottage, the Millhangar, which they find "enchanting and most comfortable".

BR is turning his lectures on (German) social democracy into a book and he also wants to work on space. Their trip to America has to be postponed. "Bertie, I know, will not be able to take a holiday or to enjoy anything until it is done. It haunts him now, day and night, and he is longing to be done with social democracy, and free for his dear dull space." BR "is as keen as I am for America, and of course he longs to see the Yellowstone and Alaska, but his mind must be free for it."

[The accession record indicates that this letter may have been meant for Mary Garrett.]

Alys invites Mrs. Wells and her husband H.G. to visit her and BR at Bagley Wood in the middle of February. Ruskin College men want a lecture from Wells. Bagley Wood is outside Oxford but we "can easily drive in for anything."

Alys declines to sign H.G. Wells' document on socialism.

She and BR are flourishing after a month in Devon near the Gilbert Murrays.

The letter is about BR and Dora Russell's divorce. Both H.G. Wells and Curry are distressed by it. They are not only concerned about the Russells themselves but the harm this might do to all "the causes, ideas, and institutions" they are associated with. "This does not seem to me a time when liberal-minded people ought to give the cheap reactionary press free ammunition."

"As you say, why the hell does he want another Countess Russell? His brother left enough Countess Russells littered about the place. Still, Miss Spence wants to be Countess Russell and she wants children who will be little Russells and not little bastards. Dora really doesn't care whether she gets a divorce or not...."

Frank invites Wells to visit "Lady Russell" and him at Telegraph House.

Frank gives H.G. Wells train directions to Petersfield. "Elizabeth will very likely be coming down by the same train but without her German garden."

Frank hasn't heard anything from Wells about his divorce book. Elizabeth is sending her book.

Frank fears his book on divorce "is dull and too serious." He asks Wells to write to Elizabeth once H.G. has read her book.

Frank asks Wells to read a manuscript, The Retreat from Parenthood, although the title is not mentioned until the next letter. The author is a "clever woman but engaged in education and cannot afford to disclose her identity, for fear of losing her job." (The author was Dorothy Wrinch.)

Frank asks for the return of The Retreat from Parenthood manuscript. He is busy with the election and has been speaking once or twice every night.

The original letter is in the Catlin papers.

BR is credited with the mathematical element in the new empiricism.

BR himself will speak, and Patricia will drive him (to San Diego).

The draft telegram is found on Ingram's letter, record 120642.

Re a new monthly, School.

"Apart from the romantic adoration that took me into marriage with Bertie, against my beliefs and judgment, I have loved only one man. He is now dead." She means Paul Gillard.

She encloses a copy of a letter (record 120817) that A.S. Neill drafted in support of Beacon Hill School, as well as a printed programme, for a conference to be held at the school by the Federation of Progressive Societies and Individuals.

This letter was sent to H.G. Wells on 4 April 1936 to persuade him to sign a letter with various other persons, as a result of a committee formed by the Federation of Progressive Societies and Individuals.

There seem to be two enclosures. They are versions of a letter to the New Statesman, record 120670 and record 120669.

On an interview in which Wells disparaged women.

Dora writes on Telegraph House letterhead, so the letter is no later than 1934.
