Yule requests a further interim reading of the electricity and gas meters and that the results be sent to Birkbeck et al.

Ecu de France requests immediate attention to a cheque from "R J Creman" which was returned again.

The post office is writing to inform Clements that they have attempted to delivered a registered letter to him.

Harrods apologizes for the delay in responding and will make every effort to find a tenant for 28 Hasker St.

 An invoice for an electrocardiogram sent to Mr. Clements, 28 Hasker St.

A form note indicates that £40 has been debited from Farley's account. On the verso are handwritten notes of books about or by Alfred Nobel. There are further notes which are crossed out and constitute a draft telegram from Ralph Schoenman to Miss Nel Morgan.

A postcard portraying Raffles Hotel in Singapore, brings greetings from Penang.

William Willett writes to inquire if the owner of 43 Hasker St. would be interested in selling to an interested party.

A form note indicates that £40 has been debited from Farley's account because of a returned cheque.

Zelin and Zelin forward a letter to Miss Bernard and await further instructions. The enclosed letter, from A.C. Indianos, representing Takis Lefcaritis, informs Zelin & Zelin that Lefcaritis is not the father of her son and denies ever paying maintenance for the child.

It is unclear what relationship this correspondence has to BR and the BRPF. The letter to Miss Bernard's gives her address as 28 Husker St, London. It is possible that this correspondence was delivered in error or she was briefly a tenant at 28 Hasker St. It is unclear at present which of these is the case.

Farley acknowledges the receipt of a cheque and is returning it because Barclays said there would be two others. Farley will telephone on Friday, April 12, to discuss this.

Birkbeck et al. acknowledge Farley's 11 April 1963 letter and is considering the options. The writer will respond in due course.

Farley sends the two cheques which have been returned by his bank manager.

A small form from Fortnum & Mason.

A small form from Fortnum & Mason. An added note reads 'In Basement Cellar'.

Portable Cardiograms returns Clements' cheque for the electrocardiogram. The cheque was returned. They request another cheque. (The signed cheque shows how difficult it is to read Clements' signature.)

BR writes to indicate that his tenancy of 28 Hasker St. will end 4 June 1963. He is returning the keys now, as he will not need the property in the next fortnight.

Birkbeck et al. thank Farley for his letter of 12 August and informs him that it is receiving their attention.

Bayer informs Farley that Broadway Garages has made a further payment of £50 and that the balance will be paid within seven days.

Birkbeck indicates that the Under-Sheriff has received the full amount from Broadway Garages (Clements or Clemence). The Under-Sheriff will need to hold the proceeds for a short time and further steps against Clemence should wait until the money has been received.

Birkbeck et al. have now received a cheque from the Sheriff for the sum of £125 claimed in the proceeding against Broadway Garages (Seven Kings) Ltd. Birkbeck has written to Clemence (Clements) giving him a final opportunity to pay the further sum of £82.4.1.

Farley sends from Schoenman, a declaration of trust to be passed by the Charity Commissioners as the basis of the Bertrand Russell Trust and the amended version of clauses two and three which have been passed by the the Charity Commissioners and the Inland Revenue already. Neither document is present.

Farley sends the Certificate of Incorporation of the Atlantic Peace Foundation "duly notarially attested and legalised by the U.S. Consul in London".

Copy of the Certificate of Incorporation of United States SERVAS Committee, Inc. This document seems to be an example of a charitable corporation.

Standard has received the authenticated copy of the Atlantic Peace Foundation proposed certificate of incorporation. However, the original was not used for the authentication, as is required. He will send it under separate cover. It will need to be changed regardless because Leonard is reluctant to serve as incorporator and director.

Nathan Riley, "a young friend" of Boudin's is arriving in London on 16 May for two weeks and Boudin would appreciate if Schoenman and Farley would meet with him, as they share interests.

Schoenman sends copies of letters that have not arrived. The Trustees of an unspecified Trust should be listed as Bertrand Russell, the Duke of Bedford, Charlie Ellis, Rohert Rehder, and Schoenman. As a post script he mentions that he had lunch with Nathan Riley a number of times.

Ellis asks for advice about "the names and terms of wills and trusts in which money has been set aside for public or "humanitarian" work" in US or laws in other countries. Their London solicitors are also looking into money earmarked for the BRPF's kind of "subversive activity".

Standard recommends "The Blue Book - Directory of Foundations" as a reference and will purchase a copy to be used at Ellis' direction or forwarded to him. Standard also offers to provide information from his own experience if more details are forthcoming about the specifics.

Ellis is Executive Secretary of the BRPF.

Boudin thanks Schoenman for his 13 March note and will be in England on 26 April. He would like to see Schoenman in London; the trip to Wales is too far for his short visit.

Schoenman reports on changes in the BRPF directors (lost Pottle and Kinsey and gained Janjua) as well as some of the things they're working on (political prisoners, Rogosin film, Arab-Israeli conflict resolution). He and BR will both be in London 26 April and look forward to seeing Boudin when he is there.

Schoenman is sorry to have seen Boudin only briefly in New York and looks forward to discussing the future of the Foundation. He hopes an opportunity will present itself in London soon.

There is a second carbon copy.

Schoenman thanks Rabinowitz for his help regarding the Foundation and hopes he'll be able to meet BR when he is in London.

Boudin would like to come to London, but may not be able to do so for a number of months. He suggests Schoenman write a long analysis of the situation the Foundation is in so that he could properly provide advice. (There is no indication of "the situation".)

Rabinowitz was sorry he wasn't able to visit while on the Continent and hopes to on his next trip.

Boudin responds to Schoenman's 7 January letter on a number of subjects including: Babu, Mark Lane, payments to the US, and other matters.

Standard sends the original (not present) of the proposed certificate of incorporation of the Studies in the Third World, Inc. He asks that each subscriber execute his signature before a notary or equivalent.

Schoenman inquires as to the state of tax exempt status for Studies in the Third World, Inc. [Note: Ralph Schoenman is not identified, but he is the most likely sender. Carbons of his letters routinely lack his typed name.]

Standard writes to indicate that the approval of the Department of Education has been obtained and the proposed certificate of incorporation submitted to the Attorney General of New York for Studies in the Third World, Inc.

Rabinowitz agrees that there is potential for a book in the unspecified material that Schoenman's friend has. He wonders if the Foundation would be interested in helping in this situation and will inquire with one or two of the people involved, while keeping the matter confidential.

Four documents relating to Ralph Schoenman traffic infractions on 8 Dec. 1966 and the court hearing on 13 Feb. 1967.

Schoenman is pleased that Boudin will be participating in the Tribunal and questions why he didn't think to include him earlier. He goes on to ask if Boudin might be a member of the Tribunal itself.

"Spinoza, Russell tells me, was fond of saying that remorse only adds to the crime.…"

There are two copies of this carbon. The second indicates that it was dicated on the 10th, but typed on the 17th. There is also a handwritten note from [Pam?] saying Boudin has most of the Tribunal documents, but asking Deirdre to send him Bulletin no. 3, which she seems to have done 20 Jan. 1967.

Standard asks for a statement describing the authority of the British notaries who witnessed the signature of Christopher Farley, David Horowitz, Mark Lane, and Schoenman properly authenticated by the United State Embassy or Consular Office for the Clerk of the New York Secretary of State.

Standard reminds Schoenman of his request for a statement of authority. Also included is a photostat (or similar) copy of the same letter, unsigned.

Schoenman responds that he did not receive the 6 Feb. letter (record 132691) from Standard and now sends a letter (not present) from the notaries outlining the next steps.

Standard sends copies of his previous two letters (6 and 20 Feb., records 132691 and 132692) having not heard from Schoenman on the matter of the notaries re Studies in the Third World Inc..

Standard sends the original Certificate of Incorporation for Studies in the Third World, Inc. to append to the notarial authentications. The original is not present.

Schoenman sends a carbon copy of the certificate of incorporation of Studies in the Third World, Inc. legalized by the US Consulate. The certificate is unsigned.

A note stating that Ralph has promised Boudin that their fees will be paid soon and asks if it will be possible.

Following that is a handwritten note from Chris asking Pam to ask Ralph if it (an invoice at record 132698) can be paid out of the money Russ [Stetler] is raising to save on exchange problems.

A final annotation indicates that Stetler has okayed it.

An invoice related to Studies in the Third World, Inc. for $135.08.

Stetler hopes that they will be able to resolve the outstanding debts owed by the Foundation to Rabinowitz and Boudin while Rabinowitz is in London. He has been unable to reach him today and must return to Wales but is asking Geoffrey Coggan, their treasurer, to call Rabinowitz and arrange payment.

Rabinowitz was unable to connect with Coggan and Boudin outlines the best ways to provide payment, urging that it be done quickly so that litigation can proceed.

Stetler informs Boudin that Schoenman (whose UK attorney is Blanche Lucas) was able to renew his passport and so litigation will not need to be pursued in haste. Schoenman will contact him on how to proceed once he returns to England.

Stetler thanks Duffett for sending the di Antonio film footage.

BR thanks the recipient for the gift of The Spiritual Maxims of Angelus Silesius. The letter was offered for sale in Oct. 2022 at by Blackwell's Rare Books, for US2285.81 at https://www.abebooks.com/Autograph-Letter-signed-reference-wartime-pacifism/31305248554/bd.

See record 3141 for a slip of paper from the unnamed donor in Russell’s Library copy of the book.

Stetler requests advice concerning leaving the United States as it relates to the Selective Service System in effect during the Vietnam War.

Standard is away and will reply to the bulk of Stetler's questions. Meanwhile, Boudin asks for the details of the parcel that needs to be picked up and asks Stetler to send all the material that was gathered by the Tribunal for their Puerto Rican and New York draft cases.

Stetler sends a cheque to be deposited in Boudin's bank account, trusting the money can be withdrawn in the United States.

Barclays confirms that funds deposited in the UK will be transferred to Boudin's New York account, but the cheque must first have Exchange Control Authority endorsement by Stetler's bank.

Standard confirms Stetler's understanding of his ability to be in England for an extended period of time given his 3-A status, but does recommend that he notify the Board of his overseas address.

BR requests his bank to endorse the cheque for Boudin's legal fees so it may be deposited at Barclays and transferred to the US.

Stetler thanks Boudin for sending his current information questionnaire to the Draft Board and is still waiting on Standard's reply to his other questions. Stetler is going to Copenhagen today for the 2nd IWCT session and will try and make the information from that session available as promptly as possible.

Stetler instructs the post office to forward all of his US government mail to Rabinowitz & Boudin.

Farley asks for advice as he is unable to get BR's statement notarized, but can have his signature witnessed by a Commissioner for Oaths. Alternatively, Farley can have a statement by the Foundation Director notarized.

Boudin directs Farley to get "both Russell and Foundation director statements as cabled". The meaning is unclear.

Farley encloses three copies of a statement which will be sent to a notary in London and then be forwarded to Boudin. He apologizes for the delay as there are no notaries available in remote North Wales.

Stetler thanks Standard for his reply and asks him about the best way to notify the board since he has already left the United States. He also asks him to tell Boudin that he will have information for him in the next few weeks related to the tribunal for his cases.

Boudin asks Stetler to take care of a matter with Barclays Bank with the enclosed letter. He is still waiting on the affidavit from BR. And finally urges him to send "with all possible speed" the materials from the IWCT proceedings in Copenhagen.

Boudin sends a copy of the letter from Barclays and asks Stetler to look into a missing deposit of £800.

Stetler outlines the course of action that has gone on regarding his payment and the slow process. He apologizes for the delay and trusts that it will be sorted out in the near future.

Boudin asks what is being done by Stetler to ensure that his £800 is being cleared through an alternative procedure.

Boudin is representing Dr. Benjamin Spock (one of the "Boston Five") and asks Stetler to send all testimony and all documents secured by the Tribunal that would be relevant whether or not the material was formally presented to the Tribunal. He asks Stetler to let him know if he can have it sent within the week as well as recommendations for witnesses to be subpoenaed.

Copies of this letter were also sent to Wales and to Schoenman. One of those copies is included here.

Boudin asks if Stetler to send a copy of the Gallimard French edition of the Stockholm Tribunal judgement.

Schoenman (the letter is unsigned but is assumed to be from R.S.) notes that he has paid $4180 of the $8100 owing and asks if that is not reasonable assurance that he will pay in due course.

Boudin asks Stetler to confirm whether he will be able to send material related to the Tribunal in time for Dr. Spock's trial.

Boudin inquires about the reports in the press that Schoenman and the BRPF have severed ties. Does he represent the New York (branch of the) Peace Foundation?

BR confirms that there has been a complete separation between the BRPF and Schoenman. Legal matters related to this are being handled by Rosner and Rosner, who will send a copy of BR's statement on the matter. BR was unaware of Schoenman consulting with Rabinowitz & Boudin since a matter related to his passport two years prior. "… he does not have my permission to use my name in any way."

Stetler outlines a plan for him and his fellow students at Haverford College to raise money for medical supplies for the Liberation National Front. To this end, Stetler has organized a speaking tour at Bryn Mawr, Swathmore, Vassar, and Yale. He asks for any advice BR can give about matters of publicity and anything else in relation to the Vietnam War.

Also a photocopy.

The letter is unsigned but assumed to be from R.S. encloses two copies of a letter sent to Stetler (record 132740) (the original letter is at record 132455).

Stetler thanks BR for putting him in contact with Boudin and plans to send the money they have raised via the British Vietnam Committee. He asks BR to send the substantiating evidence for BR's letter to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch regarding Diem's attempted negotiations with the North. Finally, he suspects his mail is being monitored by the FBI and is concerned that their May 2nd demonstration may be disrupted. He asks BR if he can send any names of "respectable" contacts in the US who might be able to support the demonstration.

Stetler thanks BR for clarifying the accusations against Diem and his successor. He discusses the views of Black nationalist groups in relation to the war and testing on non-white populations. Some of these groups may also support the May 2nd demonstration. He has been well received at the University of Pennsylvania and Swarthmore College, where he also showed a propaganda film made by the National Liberation Front. He offers to send BR a copy if there is not one available in the UK.

BR directs Stetler to the Committee of 100 regarding demonstrations in the UK and says he will have a directory of Peace Organizations sent to him. He will also contact the British Vietnam Committee regarding the matter of medical supplies.

Stetler has contacted the Committee of 100 and a number of others. The medical aid project is progressing well. Stetler's speaking engagement at Columbia University "drew the largest audience of any political meeting there in the past eight years".

Stetler details the series of events that lead to his group's Vietnam medical supply fund announcement. He encloses three clippings about the announcement.

BR suggests Stetler contact Dr. Tom Brewer of San Francisco, regarding the demonstration he is organizing.

BR thanks Stetler for the update and promises to send letters to the newspapers he has suggested.

There are two copies of this carbon.

Schoenman writes to ask how the demonstration on May 2nd went, having seen no news in the British press.

BR is impressed with his success and outraged by the Haverford College authorities' response.

Schoenman informs Stetler of Russell's planned conference on Indochina and Southeast Asia in London on 9 July 1964 and hopes he has received BR's introduction to his book by now (document .400219a).

Stetler reports on his visit from the FBI.

BR endorses Stetler's "program" and provides (not present) the text of statements BR has made on Vietnam. He requests Stetler keep him advised to his progress, and suggests he discuss the matter with Leonard Boudin, general council for the Emergency Civil Liberties Committee and the legal representative for the BRPF. He wishes Stetler and his colleagues to have access to good legal council if they are subject to prosecution.

The original letter is available at record 132455.

The original letter is in the Odgen papers, McMaster U.

Sedgwick inquires about contacting Mrs. C.R. Buxton. He complains of hardships due to the US entering the war. "We are all immensely anxious."
