"Here are some proofs of Lady Russell (incl. the one Lord Russell indicated for the book) [not present] and of the group with Lord Russell." "Please give Lord and Lady Russell my most affectionate greetings and tell them how happy I shall be if they would allow us one of the groups for the 3rd volume in addition to one of Lady Russell."

Huxley tries to clarify what he meant in his letter of 13 March 1963 (document .051348, record 78323).

Later in the file is another letter with an earlier date, 4 October 1968, in which he asks for a footnote.

"B.R. does not know whether A.M. Graves is still living ... Alys gave BR permission shortly before her death, and Unwin knew about this."

Page 2 of this letter is not in file 10.

"BR says that the acknowledgements page of Volume III is excellent."

"I send herewith proofs of the covers for the paperback of the Autobiography, using the photographs which you selected."

"Lady Russell tells me that BR was of the opinion that the photographs of the little boy seated, by Gunn and Stuart of Richmond, is of his brother Frank. Lady Russell herself is doubtful whether the other photograph by Byrne and Co. of Richmond is of BR. There is a serial number on the first photograph...."

"... but the death of Lord Russell does not make less urgent the question of a paper back edition of his Autobiography."

Armstrong has enclosed three "prints of the montage for the jacket of your book Bertrand Russell's America." BR's head is on the Statue of Liberty.

Contract for "The Effect of Science on Social Institutions" signed by BR. A later handwritten note indicates that it was published as Icarus, or the Future of Science.

The contract for War Crimes in Vietnam has been signed by BR.

The file mainly concerns the publication of that book.

However, the first documents in the file concern the launching of the BRPF; there is also a copy of the first Foundation Bulletin.

The letter is presumably from Felton. He thanks BR for his letter of 11 December. He has "no firm news yet on the Vietnam books [sic] publication in the United States...."

"I would like to confirm that I wrote to Stanley Unwin on 28th November clearly informing him that you did not want any alterations whatsoever made to the Vietnam book."

"I have today received written confirmation from Sir Stanley [Unwin] that not a single word in the Vietnam book will be altered and that the proofs went straight to the printers exactly as passed by you."

He is sending BR an advance copy of War Crimes in Vietnam (Russell's Library, no. 3194). He has signed his initials on this carbon and added a handwritten P.S.

This file contains several letters between Unwin and Anton Felton.

"Thank you very much for your letter of 22nd November in connection with the Vietnam book. I will, of course, do all I can to implement your instructions."

"It was a great pleasure for my wife and me to see you again in London. We are particularly pleased that the wills are signed...." "The manuscript of the Vietnam book arrived today, and I am asking Chris Farley to return the corrected page proofs to you immediately. I have given careful attention to the comments by the libel reader and to Sir Stanley Unwin's own remarks, and have made a few alterations accordingly." "In addition I should emphasise that there is a wealth of evidence to support many of the statements in the book that have been queried."

"Thank you for your letter of November 23. I think it will be helpful if I try to make myself unmistakably clear about the Vietnam book. I do not wish a further word of the book to be altered, and I look to you to protect it against the suggestions made by the libel-reader and Unwin." "I am sure that it will be better for all of us if Unwin writes his books and I write mine."

"I am pleased to learn that the Vietnam book has gone to press...." "I am anxious to ensure the book's publication in the United States, which seems more important than its appearance here."

"I note that neither the New Statesman, The Spectator nor the Sunday newspapers have reviewed War Crimes in Vietnam." "We are further extremely exasperated by the absence of any apparent result in attempts to find publishers in America or major Western European countries after many months."

"Dell is very interested in" War Crimes in Vietnam.

"L.T. sent from Wales, February 25 1968". "Strongly applaud demonstrations ... university authorities should oppose genocide not victimise honourable students in mediaeval Oxbridge manner."

"I am writing to confirm that my article 'Let's Stay Off the Moon', which recently appeared under other titles, was part of my assignment to the Foundation, and I have no further interest in it."

There is other correspondence in this file concerning this article.

Enclosed is a copy of Brian Carr's typescript of his book on BR for Sixth Form Schools (not present).

"Lady Russell asked me to send you her enclosed comments on Carr's typescript."

"I enclose copies of letter which I mentioned in my letter, and which Lady Russell has now seen. As I gather Mr. Farley has told you, she has given her assent to their being printed in my memoir Russell Remembered.

The original letters have their own entries in BRACERS.

BR is too busy to look at Laric's work. He will try later.

BR is surprised that Laric is uncertain as to BR's views on physical objects.

Laric would like to visit BR on Feb 4.

BR sends Haynes a copy of the book he wrote while in Brixton Prison, Introduction to Mathematical Philosophy, for any collection he might have of books written in prison. Captain Haynes was the governor of the prison when BR was incarcerated.

The letter and book were offered for sale at the Oxford Book Fair in April 2013. Apparently Captain Haynes had a private collection!

The vendor wrote K. Blackwell on 22 September 2013: "As regards provenance, I purchased this as part of a small but interesting library from a deceased estate. The family name was Dodgson; perhaps some genealogical research may be able to link Dodgson with Haynes? Perhaps Dodgson had inherited it in the 1970's as he had obtained a valuation of the volume at that date; perhaps for insurance purposes or even probate? As you have expressed a possible interest in acquiring the item I have reserved it for you until I hear one way or another. David Bristow."

The copy of the book concerned is shelved with other copies of the book but with a photocopy of this letter tucked inside.

"Thank you for your very charming letter. I am glad that at least one of the adjectives you applied to me in 1948 is still applicable." Kinsey had called him "the greatest living philosopher", then found his plane had crashed in Norway.

The typed letter is in RA1 720, record 25299.

There is another photocopy in RA1 720, record 23757.

The typed carbon is document .125983, record 36341.

The ribbon copy has a vertical line that Russell drew to separate "in" and "sanity"; in the carbon copy they appear as one word, making a very different statement!

BR wrote this letter in reply to her letter of 15 July, document .125984, record 36342.

"In great sorrow, nobly borne, there is a wisdom not otherwise obtainable, a comradeship in the load of universal sorrow, a gain in the power of giving help to others in great grief."

Feinberg replies to her letter of 12 February with an enclosure concerning Basic Writings.

The enclosure is titled "Comments on List of Additions to 'Basic Writings'" by Denonn and Egner.

"I hasten to enclose herewith a copy of the list of additional items which Professor Egner and Lester Denonn are considering for the second edition of Basic Writings of Bertrand Russell."

A photocopy of the TLS is in Rec. Acq. 77, record 53521. BR will send a copy of Eisler's Morals without Mystery to his London literary agent.

Re his manuscript, Morals without Mystery which he has sent to BR.

"BR asks me to thank you for your letter of November 26. He has considered the typescript from Lee Eisler at some length and feels that there is nothing further that he can do. I have written to Eisler to tell him this.

"Sometime in the past few days BR has completed a private memorandum about Ralph Schoenman, and he would like a copy of it kept in the safe at Continuum along with his memoires of his former wives."

It is indicated that BR received this carbon copy of this letter. The letter concerns a proposed book, edited by Jager, of BR's early essays.

An outline of Jager's book, later published as The Development of Bertrand Russell's Philosophy is enclosed.

Jager visited BR at Plas Penryhn on 2 July 1962. Jager has recently acquired a proof copy of Which Way to Peace? with corrections in BR's hand.

BR does not recall the proof copy of Which Way to Peace? He is interested in Jager's proposed book.

A copy of the TLS is in Rec. Acq. 99, record 54218.

Felton asks if she has considered his letter of 3 April re Marvin Kaye.

There are many letters in file 8. At the beginning of the file is a folded poster, advertising A Guided Tour of Intellectual Rubbish! written by Marvin Kaye and starring Robert Rounseville.

Felton encloses a letter from Marvin Kaye. There are many letters from Kaye in the file.

"Herewith, at long last, the completed script of Marvin Kaye's A Guided Tour of Intellectual Rubbish!" (not present).

She has read the script of The Guided Tour of Intellectual Rubbish "with the greatest of interest and I think that it does a good job of presenting many of my husband's precepts without distortion—a difficult job." She goes on to list some reservations she has about the script, for Feinberg's ears only.

"Thank you for your two letters of 2 April enclosing Mr. Black's account concerning the sale of Archives II." "I am disappointed that you cannot yet reply to my letter of 19 March and may not be able to do so for another fortnight."

The letter concerns Marvin Kaye.

"Christopher Farley has passed on to me the blurb leaflet for the Guided Tour of Intellectual Rubbish! sent to him by Mr. Feinberg. What do you think of it? It seems to me not altogether happy."

The script is in file 9.

The letter concerns Douglas Lackey's Essays in Analysis.

There are many other letters in this file from different people concerning this book.

The letter is about Douglas Lackey's Essays in Analysis.

"I enclose herewith copies of letters from Professor Schilpp and Lester Denonn in response to our enquiry about Dr. Jack Pitt. Would you like us to write to Mr. Blackwell in this connection?"

The letter is in file 12 as are the Schilpp letter of 14 January and the Denonn letter of 19 January. Neither was acquainted with Dr. Pitt.

"I do not know Dr. Pitt of Fresno." "Please convey my kind regards to Lord Russell."

"I have a problem. You may recollect that in 1969 we raised with Lord Russell the possibility of adding to Human Knowledge an edited version of the notes that he had compiled and which were not at the time included, as he half wished, in My Philosophical Development, but which now exist in manuscript at McMaster and have been looked at and edited by Professor Jack Pitt." "... I would like to find out whether, in principle, those who look after Lord Russell's affairs like the idea of this new edition edited by Professor Pitt and whether they would like to look it over to see whether Professor Pitt has done a good job."

"Thank you for sending a copy of the new cover for the book of letters. My wife and I both find it delightful."

"I have given careful thought to the letter to you from Mr. Rayner Unwin dated June 19, concerning the book Necessary Russell by William Ready. It is not quite entirely clear from Mr. Unwin's letter whether Professor Ready has merely failed to obtain permission to reprint from the books mentioned and to identify the passages concerned, or whether, on the other hand, he has altered or rewritten passages from books by or about me."

Regarding William Ready's book Necessary Russell: it "is readable and in my opinion more interesting than the Gottschalk biography in that it gives a good deal of information about your archives." However, "it is obvious that there exist throughout the book many instances of outright plagiarism...." "... the problems presented by a legal action would be far more disagreeable than allowing the sale of the 10,000 copies already printed."

"Many thanks for the copy of Professor Rotblat's letter. It doesn't sound as if we should receive his edition of The ABC of Atoms very soon!"

Rotblat feels guilty about not finishing the task of bringing The ABC of Atoms up to date. "Obviously, this job requires more thought and time than I had envisaged at the beginning...."

Related letters are in the file.

"I enclose for your consideration a letter [not present] from Professor Ruja of San Diego College requesting permission to edit and publish your Hearst articles."

File 15 concerns the publication of Ruja's Mortals and Others.

There are many letters to/from Ruja and others. A few letters in this file concern The Collected Stories of Bertrand Russell.

Correspondence between Vaughan, Felton, and others regarding a film about BR.

The letters and contract are in file 1. Research notes and script outlines are in file 2.

"I am anxious to follow the advice you have given me concerning provision for John and understand that Mr. Felton has already requested you to prepare the necessary instructions to my executors." This letter concerns his son, John Conrad Russell.

"My wife and I have been drawing up new wills, which have now been executed." "I have asked Mr. Felton to act as my literary executor with my wife. This not only removes the burden which I placed on you, but enables Mr. Felton to assist more thoroughly the Foundation which he advises and to which I have recently made various assignments."

Also in the file is a draft letter, not dated, with different text but covering the same subject matter.

Enclosed with the letter is a memorandum titled "Money Paid by Lord Russell to Relatives" with the same date as the letter.

The letter sets out a number of concerns that BR and Edith have with the draft wills that they received from Mrs. Lucas. It also covers questions from her.
