| 125234 | BR sends the same letter as he sent to Armstrong—see record 125216. |

| 125237 | BR had never before heard the rumour Farson mentions. |

| 125254 | BR declines a replacement copy of her Operation Hair Tonic. |
| 125255 | It is kind of the Liebers to send BR a book on lattice theory. |
| 125256 | "Such letters are a help and encouragement in a difficult campaign, and I hope you are right about unexpressed support." |
| 125257 | BR declines to write a new preface for Authority and the Individual. |

| 125265 | Blackwell thanks Watson for the material and asks for the publication date of her interview. He also asks if she has access to further information about the speech BR gave at Coventry on 1960/12/05. |
| 125266 | Watson sends a photocopy of the Coventry Evening Telegraph (D60.04), which has a more detailed report of BR's speech from 1960/12/05. The article she wrote for Shire and Spire would have appeared in 1960/12 or 1961/01. |
| 125267 | BR is pleased that the books he sent have finally arrived; they were returned the first time. He talks about his visit to Stockholm in 1920 and his recent travels. He mentions that he has finished a book and a half since his return and asks if Valentin intends to visit England soon. |
| 125268 | BR regrets the sender cannot attend the mathematical congress but acknowledges receipt of his cheque for £21. He corrects the spelling of his name and his address. He mentions the sender's paper "Truth or Trial" and agrees they are like-minded on this matter. |
| 125269 | BR apologizes for miscalculating a rate for an author's fee. |
| 125270 | Open Court sends proofs (not present) for BR's article "The Philosophy of Bergson", which will need to be returned quickly to be published in July's Monist. |
| 125271 | Carus explains the brief history of Open Court and how remuneration is determined. He hopes to meet BR at the mathematical congress at Cambridge in August 1912. |
| 125272 | Carus inquires whether BR would prefer his honorarium in US funds because he will be at Harvard in the near future. He will also send duplicate proofs "of your second article" and requests that BR return them quickly. He invites BR to stay at his home in La Salle, Illinois. |
| 125273 | BR accepts Carus' suggestion of sending his payment in American currency. BR says he finished and posted the proofs for a second article before he left England. He would be pleased to stay with Carus if he travels west. |
| 125274 | Carus repeats his invitation to have BR stay with him at La Salle. He asks BR to send the details of his payment, which were arranged by Philip Jourdain. |
| 125275 | BR reports that he did not receive an earlier letter or copies of the January Monist. He mentions £100 for the Lowell Lectures which Philip Jourdain paid to him out of pocket and that payment for the three articles for the January, April, and July issues of the Monist was to total £60. BR acknowledges that this sum may not be correct. |
| 125276 | Open Court are sending the proofs for the third part of BR's article "The Nature of Acquaintance". The original manuscript was missing p. 17. |
| 125277 | BR declines an invitation to stay with Carus. BR requests the cheque for his January and April articles. |
| 125278 | Carus sends a cheque for $200 and hopes to see BR when he is in Chicago. |
| 125279 | BR acknowledges receipt of the cheque for $200. BR is looking forward to seeing Carus in Chicago. BR sails 6 June. |
| 125280 | BR is sorry to have missed Carus in Chicago. He went to the University of Wisconsin and gave two lectures in Ann Arbor, Michigan. He leaves for Montreal today to return to England. |
| 125281 | BR reminds Carus of the £20 still owing to him. |
| 125282 | Open Court is sending proofs of BR's article on "The Experience of Time" for the April issue of The Monist. |
| 125283 | BR notes that the photo of him on the postcard is by Hugh Cecil, but BR owns the copyright and Heath may use the image for an unstated purpose. |
| 125284 | BR agrees that commercial considerations threaten creative artistic achievements. |
| 125285 | A "with compliments" card was inserted between the title page and the frontispiece of Copleston's History of Philosophy, vol. 8 (Russell's Library, no. 2370). |
| 125286 | This letter was found between the front endpapers of Charles Fritz, Jr.'s Bertrand Russell's Construction of the External World (Russell's Library, no. 2369). It indicates that the copy was in advance of public availability. |
| 125287 | A card requesting feedback from readers about The Saturday Review Treasury (Russell's Library, no. 2361) was found between pp. 180-1. This is the last page of Russell's article "Aristocratic Rebels" (C38.03). |
| 125288 | A "for review" slip was found between pp. 120-1 of Frederic Birmingham's The Writer's Craft (Russell's Library, no. 2360). |
| 125289 | A slip of paper with "110" written at the top was found between pp. 190-1 of Frederic Birmingham's The Writer's Craft (Russell's Library, no. 2360). |
| 125290 | BR is glad Jane Addams' centenary is being honoured. He strongly approves of the National Council for a Sane Nuclear Policy. |
| 125291 | In a 1961 letter (document .051481, record 1698). Japolsky quotes from a 1935 letter from BR. Evidently (but not certainly) BR had read papers by Japolsky in Philosophical Magazine. BR wrote Japolsky in respect to Heisenberg's theory of elementary particles that "your prejudices are on my side". (Perhaps BR actually wrote: "my prejudices are on your side".) See Papers 10: 697 for a note on a mention of Japolsky in the 1935 paper "Determinism and Physics". |
| 125292 | This is the enclosed announcement (see record 53134) for a "Congrès International de Philosophie" to be held in Paris in 1900. Couturat invited Russell to assist in the Congress, and to speak. The announcement provides the section and subsection headings for the congress. |
| 125293 | Other engagements make it impossible for BR to be present at the lectures to which Barry invites him. |
| 125294 | BR doesn't see how a disagreement over Eaton could have been avoided. "I could imagine a situation in which I should think a political pronouncement by Pugwash appropriate, but it could be only about some matter as to which there no division between East and West." |
| 125295 | The text has the features of a letter, but it is inscribed on the front free endpaper of a book presented by Wittgenstein to BR. The book is Georg Christoph Lichtenberg's Ausgewälte Schriften (Russell's Library, no. 1909). |
| 125296 | BR is willing to do the tv programme suggested. Apparently some questions may concern religion. "Asians, knowing that I am not a Christian, are apt to assume that I must be a Moslem, a Buddhist, a Shintoist, an adherent of the Hindu faith, or at the very least a sympathizer with mystical philosophies." |
| 125297 | "Note about Moreton Hall fees > Tylor". |
| 125298 | BR encloses "a very short expression of my feelings about India and Communism" for the translator of (?) Common Sense and Nuclear Warfare. |
| 125299 | BR was afraid that "on that curious occasion" (not specified) what he said was without impact. It is fun to be viewed as the Voice of God. |
| 125300 | BR cannot attend an event and asks that his regrets be conveyed to Sir Thomas Beecham. |
| 125301 | "Philadelphia letter > Sir Stanley Unwin". |
| 125302 | BR accepts the position of Honorary Sponsor of the Committee for a SANE Nuclear Policy. |
| 125303 | Sarah and Lucy would like to give up the study of musical theory, and BR is willing. |
| 125304 | BR returns this year's pocket diary without a pencil (again). |
| 125305 | Message on Khrushchev's "admirable disarmament proposal". |
| 125306 | BR is glad to have been a signatory of the telegram that Ignotus enclosed. |
| 125307 | BR cannot attend the meeting of December 12. |
| 125308 | BR sends his photo instead of engaging in a correspondence suggested by Schroder. |
| 125309 | "Photo with best wishes > Gilman". |
| 125310 | BR cannot write an article for Voprosi Philosophii [Filosofii] as he is not doing any philosophical work at present and is sorry the editors feel they have been let down. |
| 125311 | BR and Edith were glad to see Madams and discuss things with him yesterday. |
| 125312 | BR cannot manage to fit Joseph in for an interview. |
| 125313 | BR declines to furnish a blurb for Toynbee in Elysium because Toynbee and BR have been friends for a long time. |
| 125314 | BR highly approves of what Lord has been doing. |
| 125315 | BR declines to undertake more work in addition to what he has already undertaken. |
| 125316 | To an invitation involving a trip to Dublin, BR regretfully declines. He would have accepted it had it been at all possible. |
| 125317 | The Mr. Brock to whom the letter is addressed may be Hugh Brock of Peace News. "Private". BR has nothing interesting to say about the general election [in the U.K.]. The Peace Movement will have to go on as before. |
| 125318 | A "with compliments" review copy slip was inserted between the front endpapers and the half-title page in C.K. Ogden and I.A. Richards' The Meaning of Meaning (Russell's Library, no. 1576). |
| 125319 | A "with the author's compliments" card was inserted between the front endpapers and the half-title page of McTaggart's A Commentary on Hegel's Logic (Russell's Library, no. 1572). |
| 125320 | A form card to request information on new titles from the publishers was inserted between pp. 130-1 in Rudolf Carnap's The Logical Syntax of Language (Russell's Library, no. 1569). BR noted 3 page numbers. |
| 125321 | A "with compliments" review card was inserted between the back endpapers of Norman Malcolm's Ludwig Wittgenstein—A Memoir (Russell's Library, no. 1560). |
| 125322 | A packing slip was inserted between pp. 60-1 of Richard Schlegel's Completeness in Science (Russell's Library, no. 1557). |
| 125323 | A response card was inserted between pp. 170-1 of Layman Allen's Wff'n Proof: The Game of Modern Logic (Russell's Library, no. 1556). |
| 125324 | The author's business card in both English and Russian was inserted between the front endpapers of Alexander Topchiev's book Hитрование [Nitrovanie uglevodorodov i drugikh organicheskikh soedineniĭ] [Nitration of Hydrocarbons and Other Organic Compounds] (Russell's Library, no. 1546). |
| 125325 | BR corrects the address and salutation for himself. See Bracers 135444 for the transcription and 125325 for the dictation. |
| 125326 | On the question of a philosophical language. |
| 125327 | "Private". BR encloses (not present) an article on science and peace. The editors are at liberty to cut it anywhere. |
| 125328 | "Posting article today. Bertrand Russell". |
| 125329 | "Formal refusal > USSR. Not in London". This may be meant for the USSR Embassy, London. |
| 125330 | BR has to think over what Halsbury puts forward about historical truth, as it is new to him. |
| 125331 | BR encloses (present) a message for Norman Thomas's diamond birthday dinner. |
