133217 | Edith discusses Farley, Coates and Schoenman ("rather lost his head and had to be packed off both as my husband's secretary and as a member of the Foundation"). Edith could only write a dull book about BR because she can find no flaw in his character. |
133218 | Re repairs to 43 Hasker Street, London. |
133219 | A very large, glossy and expensive birthday card. |

133237 | "To grandma for Christmas 1970 with much love from Ann." |
133238 | About BR. "I hope he knew, in the end, how fond I was of him, and how inexpressibly I regretted those wasted years ... I'd like to say, too, how much pleasure it gave me to see him so happy with you. I think you made him much happier than he had ever been before ... I hope you know how much joy the past two and a half years have been to me, and how grateful I am, both to my father and to you, that they were possible." Conrad refers to writing his Illustrated London News article on BR. |
133239 | "The stuff from Plas Penrhyn arrived safely, and has been duly installed, the carpet on the stairs, the candlesticks on the sideboard, and the tables on either side of our bed."

133272 | Lucy reports on the Court's judgments. She says what she will read at Kent. It was a relief to see the record put right about Schoenman. Hopefully Sarah is coming to the end of her Beatnik phase. |

133298 | This printed reply card was revised in Patricia's hand: "Mr. Russell has been ordered 3 months complete rest." The document no. in the case of the Neurath images reflects the image number as received from Noord-Hollandsarchief. |
133299 | BR's health is now "completely restored" and he will be glad to come to the Paris congress on 15–23 September. |
