| 125039 | BR doubts that Keller's Logical Theory of Language would be any easier to get adopted in state schools than world government. BR invites him to visit him. |
| 125040 | Not a letter, just a name. |
| 125041 | Re the Basic Writings of BR: BR recommends the PM preface as a selection from Principia. If Egner wants anything symbolic, BR suggests *110.643 "with its demonstration and the remark about the occasional usefulness of the proposition in question." (The editors did not adopt the latter suggestion.) |
| 125042 | BR very much likes the photo of himself in Desch's book. |
| 125043 | Re a quotation (very likely the one about Christian love): "I should not have used the word Christian if I had foreseen the misconception to which it gave rise." |
| 125044 | BR knows nothing about radiation from TV sets. |
| 125045 | BR would like to know the venue for the meeting at which he is to speak and length of the shortest speech for him. He hopes he will not be the only speaker "as I am not a technical scientist in the required sense." |
| 125046 | "Cheque and letter > Canon Collins". |
| 125047 | "BBC earnings > Madams". |
| 125048 | "£72.11.0 (for Griff), Tylor". |

| 125052 | "No". |
| 125053 | BR sends £32.12.0 for BEA tickets. He wishes to take £100 in traveller's cheques. He gives their names as "Bertrand, Earl Russell" and "Edith, Countess Russell". |
| 125054 | BR has signed the 2 letters she enclosed, finding nothing to change in that to Charlie Chaplin. |
| 125055 | BR declines to journey to Mexico. |
| 125056 | BR corrects an error in the footnote on p. 77 of My Philosophical Development. |
| 125057 | BR thanks Heckstall-Smith for correcting an error in the footnote on p. 77 of My Philosophical Development. |
| 125058 | BR knew one man called Butcher, who lived at Killarney. He and Lang translated the Odyssey. |
| 125059 | This seems to be a reminder to type or send the letter of the previous day to Heckstall-Smith. |
| 125060 | This seems to be a reminder to type or send the letter of the previous day to Allen and Unwin, record 125056. |
| 125061 | "To Zora Lasch [BR] sent today, written yesterday—tea at #43 on Sept 11". |

| 125064 | "No". |
| 125065 | "No". |
| 125066 | 10 shillings is to be sent. |
| 125067 | BR declines a trip, although "I have a very great admiration for Jefferson and am sorry whenever a course is taken which he would deplore." |
| 125068 | It would be a pleasure to see Gilson again. The wife that she knew some years ago and BR were divorced. |
| 125069 | To "Sir George", BR regrets having to decline due to the great amount of work he has undertaken to do during the next months. |
| 125070 | BR suggests Dr. Elvin get in touch with him for a time to see Redefer. |
| 125071 | "Baker (Foges's man) to talk about public discussion of Wisdom of the West—Fri. Aug 21". Cambrian Express, car and dinner. |

| 125073 | BR does not want royalties for the Polish translation of Religion and Science to be paid in Polish currency. |
| 125074 | BR is glad Boyle likes the definition of "electricity" BR gives in The ABC of Atoms, which he unfortunately published just before Heisenberg's revolutionary work. BR has a suggestion for extending the definition. |
| 125075 | Cooper faces imprisonment. BR hopes he will not be condemned to a very unpleasant time. |
| 125076 | BR will come to Newman's office after lunch, due to his throat trouble. He asks for clarification of "your philosophy of the future of man within the next century". |
| 125077 | BR thinks there are practical difficulties against a world plebiscite. |
| 125078 | In view of Khrushchev's trip to America the day after the projected press conference in Paris, does Collins think the journey to Paris will have lost much of its utility? "... every enterprising journalist will wish to be in America." |

| 125080 | "Autographed photo". |
| 125081 | "I very strongly agree with you about the division into faculties in universities." BR can still understand why people were Hegelian, since it concerned the "axiom of internal relation". BR's mind-body theory "strikes every physiologist as a truism". |
| 125082 | BR sends Foges "The Fisherman's Nightmare". "It was written before the enclosed extract from the Manchester Guardian which shows that the story is topical." |
| 125083 | BR cannot recall ever having spoken in Trafalgar Square. He can't go to Frankfurt on certain days. |
| 125084 | BR is willing that Jones should exhibit his sculpture of BR. |
| 125085 | BR will see Crosser on August 18 and will be happy if he stays to supper. |

| 125096 | BR says he would be glad to settle in America if he could get an academic position. Earning a living for several people prevents him from lecturing on logic and philosophy. |
| 125097 | Coolidge forwards BR's letter, record 125096, to Hocking. |
| 125098 | The transcript of a film interview, "Bertrand Russell Speaks on His Anti-Nuclear Committee of 100". |
| 125099 | John Dewey's introduction of Russell, probably prior to BR's debate with Will Durant. |
| 125100 | In a typeset letter, BR requests the title of any paper the unnamed recipient has for presentation at the upcoming sectional meetings of the Fifth International Congress of Mathematicians. Russell was chair of the subsection on philosophy and history. The document came with a copy of the proceedings (B&R B3), catalogued for the supporting library of the Russell Archives. |
| 125101 | BR thanks Ashford for his letter and is glad he enjoyed BR's radio talks. The letter was for sale by Adam Andrusier Autographs. |
| 125102 | This note was left between the back cover and endpapers of Max Born's Physics and Politics (Russell's Library, no. 1440). Part of the note (in Edith Russell's hand) recalls that Nell and the note's author remember the people of Minffordd coming to get BR's subscription to the Labour Party. The top portion of the note (mentioning the names of a couple of local people) is in Ralph Schoenman's hand. |
| 125103 | A "with compliments" card was inserted between the half-title page and title page of Robert C. Cook's Human Fertility: the Modern Dilemma (Russell's Library, no. 1250). |
| 125104 | A supplies (?) note was inserted between pp. 130-1 of J.C.L. de Sismondi's A History of the Italian Republics (Russell's Library, no. 869). The note had been folded over many times. |

| 125106 | A "with compliments" card was inserted between pp. 14-15 in Myra Buttle's The Sweeniad (Russell's Library, no. 1429). |
| 125107 | BR is glad Cory agrees with him (presumably on mind and matter) in Cory's "Philosophical Letter". |
| 125108 | "Don't know". |
| 125109 | BR refers her to his Philosophy of Leibniz on windowless monads. |
| 125110 | BR does not remember his letter to Husserl, or ever meeting Husserl. "My early correspondence is in confusion". [Re Archives.] |

| 125113 | BR agrees to write an article for her, having found her letter and magazines very interesting. |
| 125114 | BR encloses a script (not present). |

| 125116 | BR agrees to Japanese publication of chapters from Religion and Science. |
| 125117 | BR accepts £5 for the books he left with Galloway. |
| 125118 | BR declines to give the annual Lord Davies Lecture. |
| 125119 | BR sends her 2 autographed books, but cannot at present find a time to visit her. Above the letter to Lloyd is another letter "5"—to Unwin, which was crossed out. It concerns a letter about a book title that BR does not recognize, "Before the Apocalypse", but he thinks it may be the Italian title of one of his books. |
| 125120 | A very clear letter on the Baruch proposal and the use BR wished the world had made of it. |
| 125121 | BR sends Johnson's group a signed message on nuclear disarmament. The message follows on a separate sheet. |
