"As requested, I am hereby confirming my interest in directing a series of films on the Life of the Late Lord Russell. I am afraid I cannot go into any detail regarding my plans for the project at this time as my life is completely taken up with my present picture."

"I would not see any insuitable obstacle to a television film on Lord Russell's life. ... I do agree that Mr. Losey would be an ideal Director such a film and I will certainly do all I can to further this project forward."

"I think Lady Russell and Chris Farley have already informed you that Mr. Joseph Losey is interested in the possibility of making a film for television about the life and work of Lord Russell; and that as a result two of the major television companies are showing keenness, and wish to discuss such a project."

"As Executor to the Estate and on behalf of my Co-Executors I write to confirm that you have the full support and co-operation, in conformity with our Agreement, in producing a television film on the life of Bertrand Russell."

"I am grateful for your full account of all that has happened concerning the Observer newspaper and Mrs. Vinogradoff. There are, however, three remaining matters which I do not understand, and I should be pleased to hear from you about these: 1. Why was Mrs. Vinogradoff's solicitor allowed to proceed with this matter in the first place? ... 2. Could you not have informed one of my assistants so that we were informed before reading of the matter in the newspapers? ... 3. I do not understand how the Observer ever came to see any letters to me from Lady Ottoline Morrell."

"You can find purpose in your life by interesting yourself in things outside your own person. I am sending a recent 'Appeal' which may interest you."

"I learn from my secretary that Friday will be your 94th birthday. It pleases me to learn of a fellow nonagenarian and to know that our birth dates are within two days of each other. Although older than you I feel as if we were almost the same age and I send you my very best wishes for your birthday trusting that we shall each celebrate our centenaries with vigour and joy."

"I have got no further in your third volume of Autobiography than your mention of regret, that your 'Nightmares of Eminent Persons' had never been staged—and I hasten to write to you to ask if there might be a chance of reading them?"

"Lord Russell is in principle most interested in such a television appearance around March 1967."

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."

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."

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".

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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.

A booklet for the meeting held on 8 June 1970, honouring BR.

"Transcribed from a recording by Radio Direction Telediphone Unit. 'The Passionate Involvement: Bertrand Russell and the Twentieth Century'. Narrated by Sir Edward Boyle."

"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."

Dictated answer to Bennett's letter re Louis Couturat's death (see record 5343): "1914. Run over by motor lorry during mobilization."

This draft telegram was written in BR's hand at the foot of Rabinowitch's letter of January 30th (see record 83420).

Cantor tells BR that he has just received a second telegram from his wife: "Erich besser".  This letter ("Dear Sir ... <signed> Cantor"> is written on the back of the envelope accompanying Cantor's second letter, document .048018, at record 75516.

"Review done and sent".

On the scope of Wisdom of the West. See Foulkes' response on 26 July 1957 (record 85611) to the letter BR actually sent (it must have been similar or BR would not have preserved the fragment in his publishing files).
