| 132289 | BR invites Lowndes and Miss Caroline Ruutz-Rees for dinner on Monday. (Ruutz-Rees was principal of Rosemary Hall, Greenwich, CT.) There is no other date except for a mention of Russell Chambers. His lecturing at Harvard and visit to the U.S. are over but there is no mention of the war. Thus June-July 1914 seems probable. |
| 132290 | This is the full letter from which Ladd-Franklin sent BR extracts on solipsism and "hypothetical realism" at record 77766 |
| 132291 | BR accepts lunch with Van Doren and Scott Buchanan after the broadcast "on the 25th". January 25, 1942 was the day of the "Invitation to Learning" discussion of Spinoza. |
| 132292 | BR read her papers with great interest. He feels very uncertain on the whole subject of the external world. He can't agree with the "confident dogmatism" of the Six Realists. He is sorry she dislikes so many things in Principles of Mathematics", and hopes she would like PM better. *14 (Descriptions) and *20 (General Theory of Classes) are "the most important chapters" and "register a real advance in logic". They're explained in Chap. III of the Introduction. On the fundamentals of philosophy. |
| 132293 | BR asks for a copy of what Ladd-Franklin wishes to quote from him. (The extract is at record 77842.) She does not seem ever to have published the article she had in mind. "[The war] is more dreadful than anything one had ever expected to experience." |
| 132294 | BR thanks Ladd-Franklin for a copy of what she wished to quote from him and approves it. (The extracts are at record 77842.) "My views on solipsism are full of doubt...." She does not seem to have published the article she had in mind. He also thanks her for "her kindness about my remarks on the war. I am utterly ashamed of their feebleness and futility. One ought to be able to speak words that would be more powerful than battleships and have more effect than masses of great guns." |
| 132295 | There are 3 other copies of this letter. This one appears to have been photocopied for use in editing Feinberg's Dear Bertrand Russell .... |
| 132296 | This unsigned statement is enclosed with BR's letter of 7 May 1963, record 132104. |
| 132297 | BR encloses (not present) his article "The Optimism of America". |
| 132298 | BR encloses (not present) his article "Morality and Instinct". Meloney seems not to have published it (it is in Bertrand Russell on Ethics, Sex, and Marriage, ed. Seckel). He plans to write an article on "Unhappy Youth" (possibly it was "Why Is Modern Youth Cynical?", C30.08). ALS(M) is in box 6.36; print transcript is in box 16.01. |
| 132299 | BR is agreeable to reviewing Dewey's Essays in Experimental Logic. "I should like to write something on Dewey's logic if I could find time...." The letter is quoted in full in the headnote to the review, 16 in Papers 8. |
| 132300 | A postcard signed by attendees at the International Congress of Mathematicians, Cambridge, 1912, possibly addressed to Christine Ladd-Franklin because the item was filmed with BR's letters to her at Columbia. Before the names there is this message: "Hoch achtungsvolle grüsse -- senden Ihnen" [Highly respectful greetings -- send you]. |
| 132301 | BR writes on letterhead of the H.M.S. Berengaria. He will look for her a dinner "tonight". She is to join him "at the table where I have been hitherto in solitary and dismal state". |
| 132302 | BR writes on letterhead of the H.M.S. Berengaria. He looks forward to her at table 111 at 7.15. The letter is dated by reference to letter 128973. There is a typed transcription of the letter. |
| 132303 | The following letter is written on the front fly leaves of a copy of BR's Skeptical Essays. The letter details BR's visit to Vancouver and the occasion for him to sign the book. Brock's letter indicates May 1930, but other sources place BR in Vancouver in October 1929, as part of his West Coast lecture tour that year; he was definitely in England throughout May 1930.. To Amelia Ayre Bertrand Russell spent a day at our family home, Brockholm in Vancouver. He was present for lunch and supper with us boys, and spent the entire afternoon in our garden on the English Bay waterfront arguing with my father on education - both yelling at one another! This was May 1930. Russell was 58, my father 56. Russell had flowing white hair and lots of wrinkles and I considered him to be very old. Today at 96 he is still hale and active. My father was killed in a plane crash in 1935 - aged 61. I presented this book to Russell for his signature at our dining room table at the end of supper; along with my autograph album. T.L.B. Researchers wishing to consult this copy should request B 1649 .R93 S3 copy 3, from the Supporting Library of the Bertrand Russell Archives. |
| 132304 | Rodker is anxious to film BR on Sobell before it is too late for the purpose. The letter may have been written the same day (1962/05/02) as record 132162, with which it was found. |
| 132305 | Typed copy of original (ribbon copy) of letter from BR to Rosten. See also TL(CAR) at record 6462. |
| 132306 | BR is asked by means of this form letter for a statement condemning the "imprisonment of trade unionists in Madrid". |
| 132307 | BR enclosed the message with his letter to Gordon England of Humanist Group Action at record 132088. The message begins: "I admire the work of Amnesty". He knows in his own work how large a role efforts to release political prisoners play. |
| 132308 | The first page only (and therefore without signature) is found with a complete letter from Alys Russell (record 132309), which was also written on the day BR heard that he had won his prize fellowship at Trinity College. (Possibly the remainder of BR's letter is in the boxes of printouts from the microfilm or on the microfilm and not printed out). See the Transcription for the text. The copy of this letter was replaced with the original in 2026. |
| 132309 | This complete letter from Alys Russell was written on the day BR heard that he had won his prize fellowship at Trinity College. The printout of the letter is stapled to the first page of BR's letter (record 132308). Alys says of BR's triumph: "B. and I are going to Frank's cottage for Sunday. I am too happy about the Fellowship to write more." She had already mentioned her trip to Liverpool with "Auntie". BR's letter is written first, followed by Alys's. There aren't two physical letters. The copy of this letter was replaced with the original in 2026. |
| 132310 | Re the Frank Russell case. "Lord Darcy is the undecided one, 4 Judges being for cruelty & 4 against." |
| 132311 | Re J.J. Withers, Frank's lawyer. "He is such a nice man ...." "He has always given Frank Russell splendid advice, but unfortunately, he could not force him to take it." |
| 132312 | A number of short notes as well as a few letters to or from Lord John Russell, as well as one John Russell, Viscount Amberley. |
| 132313 | BR invites Lavin to attend one of his lectures at Cambridge. |
| 132314 | BR is sorry about Lavin's difficulties and is making inquiries, probably about admission to Cambridge. |
| 132315 | BR will see Lavin when he returns to Cambridge from Norway on 13 October. Included with this letter are three clippings re the plane crash in Norway. |
| 132316 | BR's unsigned testimonial on Irving Lavin's behalf for a Fulbright Scholarship. Noted in pencil at the foot, after the date used above: "The Fulbright Schol.” |
| 132317 | BR invites Lavin to Wales after May 20th if he is able to come. |
| 132318 | BR is looking forward to Lavin's visit on Tuesday and includes train directions (to Llan Ffestiniog). |
| 132319 | BR apologizes for the delay in his response. He notes that T.S. Eliot "is a re-incarnation of Henry James — a snob and (spiritually at least) a eunuch". |
| 132320 | This is Pauling's 90th birthday tribute to BR, enclosed with his letter of the same date to Ralph Schoenman (record 132148). There are other copies at record 96489 to record 96491. |
