| 130641 | "Lord Russell is in principle most interested in such a television appearance around March 1967." |
| 130642 | Written in Edith Russell's hand, on behalf of both her and BR. Re Ralph Schoenman."Ruining BR's reputation by telling people that a) he has written most of the articles put out in BR's name during the last year and a half—or two years, b) that he wrote all the telegrams and letters that went out at the time of the Cuba crisis, c) that he signs most of BR's letters." |
| 130643 | On the verso of the photograph: "Addressing the Thirty Thousand: London: White-haired Lord Russell is seen on the raised platform within Trafalgar Square in London this afternoon addressing some thirty thousand people who crowded around him. The audience included over ten thousand marchers who spent the holiday week-end on a journey from both Aldermaston and Wethersfield. At Lord Russell's right is Canon John Collins (spectacles and beret) who is the Chairman of the Campaign." |
| 130644 | A booklet entitled "The Faith of a Rationalist", a reprint of BR's address, published for the Rationalist Press Association. "This Broadcast address was delivered on May 20, 1947, and is reprinted by the kind permission of the author". |
| 130645 | "If Newman is able to be at the meeting, I think we should discuss with him how he might cover the question of Russell's contribution to mathematics. In the very short time that so large a number of speakers will allow any individual one, he would be able to give only a bare outline, in very popular terms, of the key contributions which Bertie Russell made and of the importance still of so much of his work on the foundations of mathematics." |
| 130646 | "Russell's clarity and humour were so terribly important in themselves in making his essays acceptable and enjoyable to many people otherwise not given to reading thought provoking material; and this is not to mention his more technical work." |
| 130647 | "As for the London Mathematical Society we have no record of any correspondence with them although they did award Russell with their Augustus de Morgan gold medal in 1933." |
| 130648 | "This is to tell you, just in case you otherwise miss it, that there is a radio programme on the Third on Russell's philosophy this Saturday, 4 April in the evening. There will be a more general programme about Russell on the evening of April 14, in which I believe Sir Edward Boyle is playing a leading role." |
| 130649 | "I enclose herewith [not present] a copy of the revised edition of The Spokesman number three, which is entirely concerned with BR. It has been given a new cover and removed one stage from The Spokesman. If you want copies of this to be sold at the June 8 meeting, perhaps you would let me know." |
| 130650 | "Lady Russell has given me the enclosed somewhat formidable list of people who ought to be advised about the June 8 meeting." The meeting was held at Central Hall Westminster in honour of BR. |
| 130651 | A booklet for the meeting held on 8 June 1970, honouring BR. |
| 130652 | "Transcribed from a recording by Radio Direction Telediphone Unit. 'The Passionate Involvement: Bertrand Russell and the Twentieth Century'. Narrated by Sir Edward Boyle." |
| 130653 | "Unfortunately, the future of the Russell Press is in some peril, as a result of two serious threats. Firstly, there is a problem of complex tax litigation. Gifts made by Bertrand Russell before he died enabled the press to be established. ... At the same time, the local authority have placed a compulsory purchase order on the building which houses the press, which, if upheld, will compel it to move to new premises which will be greatly more expensive than its present ones." |
| 130654 | BR's reply is summarized (and not dated) at the top in Edith Russell's hand: "OK but Allen and Unwin's permission needed. Sentence asked for <is> enclosed: 'The main thing needed to make the world happy is intelligence'." |
| 130655 | "Book just received. Publisher says too late for preface, but want sentence of commentation. Will write you again when book read." BR's dictated reply appears at the head of Belfrage's letter (see record 5340). |
| 130656 | Dictated answer to Bennett's letter re Louis Couturat's death (see record 5343): "1914. Run over by motor lorry during mobilization." |
| 130657 | This draft telegram was written in BR's hand at the foot of Rabinowitch's letter of January 30th (see record 83420). |
| 130658 | Themerson provides BR with a copy of his reply to Ryle's letter rejecting an article for Mind. This letter is attached to Themerson's letter at record 83661. |

| 130660 | |

The writer stayed after Alys left and expects to see her Tuesday and "B" [Bertrand] on Wednesday. The postmark date is clarified by the fact that the Russells did not take Little Buckland until late July 1902 (see S. Turcon, "Nomads", BRS Bulletin, no. 148 [fall 2013]: 32-3). The card was inserted between pp. 98-9 of Thomas Carlyle's Critical and Miscellaneous Essays, vol. 3 (Russell's Library, no. 703). |
