"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 concerns Against the Crime of Silence. She encloses a letter from Michael Scott, 24 Nov. 1970, with its own enclosure.

Edith has added a note to this letter before sending it off to Jack Black. The enclosure is a photocopied statement titled "Studies in the Third World" which was issued by Ralph Schoenman on 5 November 1970. This was a BRPF series.

This draft document is titled "Studies in the Third World".

"About the matter of Ralph Schoenman's relationship with Bertie and me you already know from Bertie's memorandum concerning it as well as from Vol. III of his Autobiography. The matter of Against the Crime of Silence has been for some time in the hands of our solicitors."

Pat Pottle has written across the top of this letter: "My original letter of resignation."

There are several letters about working with Schoenman written on this day. This one begins: "I am sorry for bursting in on you this morning especially with such a distasteful story."

Also in the file is a manuscript (entered at record 130642) in Edith Russell's hand titled "Charges that We Understood Pat Pottle to Bring vs. Ralph [Schoenman]. 26/1/64". There are also photocopies of two different typescripts with the same title.

"Thank you for your letter. I am considering its contents."

"Thank you for your letter. I am considering its contents."

"I am writing now, without the knowledge of anyone else, a further word about recent events which I had hoped to say to you privately. It is difficult to forget the volume and content of the abuse recently received. If it has left even a moment's doubt in your mind about Ralph [Schoenman], I should like to say categorically that I do not believe that you could have a more capable, energetic or loyal secretary. He is irreplaceable; his loss would be a terrible blow to your work and consequently to the entire struggle against nuclear war."

Re the meeting in honour of BR, 8 June 1970, London.

"Thank you so much for sending the memorial booklet to me. It seems to be beautifully done. Christopher Farley and Rupert Crawshay-Williams (through his wife—he has not yet returned) have both reported that the meeting itself went off surpassingly well." She did not attend because she feared that she "might make my feelings too evident and prove an unbearable embarrassment to the platform and the audience as well as to myself."

Also in the file is a handwritten list in Edith's hand of people that she and BR had known with their addresses. Presumably this formed part of the invitation list.

"In compliance with the request of your secretary Mr. Schoenman I am sending back to you the tape with the statements that you were kind to record for Radio Moscow last month. I have only just received the tape from Moscow." Trofimenko was writing from London.
