|---|---|
| 129303 | "Enclosed from BR—destroy. He meets me 11.55 and I leave again 4.50." BR was going to meet her at Oxford. Enclosed letter from BR not present. |
| 129304 | Dora is writing her autobiography and has tried to have the embargo that BR put on the family broken. "B. did find Clough Williams-Ellis charming, but I don't think that they were ever great friends—certainly not intimate—and never saw much of each other. The Knighthood would amuse B. mightily, especially in view of Amabel's good Socialist jeers." |
| 129305 | On the newspaper articles about BR's Collected Stories. "The article by Michael Burn is the only one I liked. Did you like it? Oh, and Conrad's piece about his father." |
| 129306 | Colette wants Edith to have the lace that belonged to BR's mother and then to BR. "I treasure it, and always shall...." |
| 129307 | "It is good news that someone wrote a business letter to The Times about a stamp for Bertie. I missed seeing it. I wish I had seen the review of 1929 by Dean Inge. Have you a copy of it? And have you any caricatures of Bertie? Kenneth Coates has begun a collection of them." Ronald Clark came to see Edith about the biography he is writing on BR. "Have you seen Ronald Jager's book about Bertie's philosophy? It seems to me excellent...." |
| 129308 | Julie Medlock wrote to Edith about Professor J.C. Bhaskar Abraham in connection with Indian Government's stamp of Bertie and said that Abraham was instrumental in having it published. "I am glad to read that he is 'immersed in Russelliana'—is he writing a book about Bertie?" |
| 129309 | Though Colette has never met Dora, she never could like what BR told her of Dora. She shudders at the thought of Dora writing a book about BR. Colette remembers that BR always spoke well of Clough Williams-Ellis. "Mr. Blackwell seems to be chasing after B.'s letters to Wittgenstein. ... I think Mr. Blackwell is very good at his own job." Colette has crossed out that BR never told her the name of Peter's London lover, but she always thought it was one of the Astors (if not David from The Observer then perhaps J.J.). |
| 129310 | "You may send me anything you like for my Birthday as long as it is not books. A pair of field-glasses is what I would like best, if you please." |
| 129311 | "I want you to know that your message to Bertrand Russell is the one which will be worth all the others put together. It will make him happier than anything to come of these celebrations and, for my part, it fulfils what I am seeking for him on this elemental occasion—his reaching ninety years. I value your message to him and I am moved by it." |
| 129312 | "I have spoken to the BBC who are very anxious to include you in the television programme." |
| 129313 | "The Anthology of Tributes to Lord Russell is in the hands of the publishers and should be printed in the very near future." |
| 129314 | Malleson asks for Shaw's permission to print in her book the little note Shaw sent her when she was collecting funds for a sacked stage carpenter. Shaw's reply is handwritten at the foot of the letter (see record 129315). |
| 129315 | Shaw replies to Malleson's letter on the same page (see record 129314). Shaw will buy her book. |
| 129316 | She has heard so much about Colette from BR. "I remember your writing that you took BR's letters with you everywhere. ... I will let you into a secret (please don't divulge it) but 'Okel' in my letters refers to a woodhouse found by my little daughter! I hope it will puzzle the scholars!" |
| 129317 | Swinnerton was looking for a place to stay in London. "The late Lady MacCarthy (then Mrs. Desmond MacCarthy) very kindly offered to try to find me something. Her quest took her into the neighbourhood of Fitzroy Square, where she met Bertrand Russell. He said 'What are you doing here?' She said 'Looking for lodgings for a single man.' His reply was 'He can have my studio'. In consequence I rented from him a furnished studio in No. 5 Fitzroy Street. I occupied this studio from December 2nd, 1918 until November or December 1919, when, the landlord having sold the house, I was forced to remove. Bertrand Russell again came to the rescue, allowing me to rent a flat at 34 Russell Chambers ... until (I think) 1923...." |
| 129318 | An outline of Malleson's relations with Patricia Russell between 1930 and 1949. "I first met plaintiff during the summer vacation of 1930. She was then Miss Marjorie Spence, an Oxford student I think." Malleson described her visit to BR and Peter at Oxford in her book In the North. |
| 129319 | "On 11th March, 1949, Mrs Z. packed off her husband to spend a week with me, saying to him as he left home, 'If you feel like making love to C., I shall ask no questions, and I shall not mind'." Malleson describes her relationship with BR. |
| 129320 | "I don't know if either you or the Dr. are sufficiently interested in Russia and the Bolshevik experiment to read rather a long book on it: a really first rate book (vide Bertrand Russell and H.G. Wells). I'm reading it now: Humanity Uprooted by Maurice Hindus." |
| 129321 | "BR had to go to France to bury his brother." |
| 129322 | "My world looks almost as black as the European situation—that's saying a good deal! I've been reading Russell's Which Way to Peace?—true; but not cheerful!" |
| 129323 | "I was very lucky in getting from my mother the two volumes of BR's new book: The Amberley Papers. It is the diaries and letters of his parents and their circle: Mill, Gladstone, Bright, Huxley, Garibaldi, Mazzini, etc. It makes most enthralling reading—all the above giants compared to the small fry of today." |
| 129324 | "BR has got a three years job at University of California...." |
| 129325 | "BR cannot well bring anything with him anyhow because he comes and goes by air to save time. It was so dear and kind of you to think about coffee." |
| 129326 | Fragment of a letter starting on page 3. Colette is in a state of puzzlement and difficulty and is at a loss as to what is best to do. "Nothing has happened re cottage—I've not heard one word. And now BR says 'Come to Wales and househunt'—of course it would be cheaper than far north—but there are a lot of buts. I must stop and write him." |
| 129327 | "I daresay you've seen cuttings in papers about interviews with BR in Australia. He takes a very black view of war situation. I'm inclined to do the same." |
| 129328 | "I celebrated BR's birthday (18 May) by my first bathe in the lake here." |
| 129329 | "There was a nice (advert) picture of BR in Listener." |
| 129330 | "The heralded post strike seems to have vanished so I hope BR will get his birthday roses O.K. on 18th." |
| 129331 | "I've one bit of good news:—the Government of India has published a postage stamp with picture of BR. If anybody sends me more than one of them, I'll send one to you, dear Carrie." |
| 129332 | Colette asks Webster to send red roses to Edith for BR's birthday. |
| 129333 | "When you get on 16th May BR's roses please get for yourself flowers or something for your own garden." |
| 129334 | "There's no news here—except that several books on BR are soon appearing—so look out for them on your library list. One is by his daughter, Dr. Katharine Tait—My Father: Bertrand Russell (I think it is called)." |
