In this letter Colette writes that Olli "must write something about" BR. There is a line across the page after her letter with text titled "BR's working day". He took this text, added his own observations from his time spent at Ffestiniog and published it as "Bertrand Russell: Aamusta Iltaan", Suomen Kuvalehhti, 28 Nov. 1953, p. 32. The title, "From Morning to Evening", the title of the publication, "Finnish Magazine", and the text of the article have been translated by Marja Lampi. The text from "BR's Working Day" was later published as part of "Three Portraits of Bertrand Russell at Home", Russell 32 (2012): 162–9 (at 165–7).

The enclosed is a handwritten list of sales of The Autobiography up to June 1972.

The letter concerns Felton's letter of 30 October (not present) about the Lady Ottoline Morrell correspondence--it should be "a matter of urgency if the embargo is to be lifted in fifteen months' time." Blackwell should be consulted "about the situation in Texas."

Edith has noted she signed the cheque.

A note on the letterhead of 17 Magdalene Street, Cambridge saying" From 'Mind', January 1922 with the Editor's compliments". The note is attached to tear-sheets of Alan Dorward's review of "The Analysis of Mind".

This is one of several letters that Edith grouped together with a note: "Ken Fleet & Felton re 9-10 % interest on frozen McMaster money." There are letters to and from them detailing that "the McMaster instalment was frozen for 18 months", interest on the Archives II monies, and which agreement covered the sale of Archives II. The document numbers in this grouping are 314928 to 314939.

Felton mentions Sencourt's biography of Eliot.

Felton encloses (not present) Conrad's article in Illustrated London News, 14 Feb.

The enclosed memorandum explains Felton's professional charges, although the charge itself is not to hand.

The letter concerns the choice of Ronald Clark as a biographer.

"We are unlikely to obtain a better agreement with Mr. Clark than that you outline." The biography shouldn't be described as "definitive".

Felton wonders about Ronald Clark's abilities and if he should be allowed to see embargoed materials.

Edith's assessment of Ronald Clark: "He seems to be equipped with an overdose of industry and a lamentable underdose—apart from literary abilities—of sympathetic imagination and sensitiveness to human qualities and other such imponderables." She wanted Clark to see BR's memorandum "of the main difficulties that arose in his first three marriages." With regard to the embargo: "I do not think we can now break our promises to" BR that the embargo would be enforced.

With regard to what Ronald Clark will be allowed to see, Felton wonders what to do about letters owned by others. He cites Dora Russell as an example for information that may be in the letters from BR to Dora.

The letter concerns Ronald Clark's biography of Einstein being scheduled for publication.

The letter concerns Ronald Clark. There was a unsigned contract with a typed list of embargoed people, 9 July 1971, document 314981. The contract enclosed with this letter was the final draft. It was photocopied and changes written on it in unknown hand but apparently that of Barry Feinberg. The embargoed list was also changed.

The letter concerns the Estate accounts.

Edith looks forward to seeing the Estate accounts.

The enclosed letter (document 314985A) concerns a meeting about the Estate.

"I have been giving considerable thought to the volume of my husband's fiction [The Collected Stories], and to questions which it raises.... You will remember that my husband invited you to be his executor in place of Sir Stanley Unwin in order to protect his estate from precisely such conflicts of interest.... You have announced your intention of making in perpetuity, over and above your other charges, a levy upon the estate of 10 percent." There are two early typed drafts of this letter, one undated (document 314986A) and one dated 11 March (314986B). There is also an undated handwritten draft (314986C) as well as three handwritten notes about the letter (314986D).

Edith writes very directly to Felton about her misgivings re Felton.

Felton states: "I am sorry you have been caused distress by the question of our role in regard to the Fiction Book" and as executor.

The enclosed letter is to the Collector of Taxes (document 314988A).

The enclosed are draft copies of the Estate Accounts.

The enclosed letter is from the Inland Revenue Tax Collector in Bangor (document 314991A).

The letter requests the appointment of Ken Coates as a third literary executor, saying it was BR's wish. There are two earlier versions of this letter. One is a handwritten draft in Christopher Farley's hand with additions by Edith (document 314992). The other is a handwritten draft by Edith, 29 March (314993).

This letter is a reply to Felton's letter of 20 March (record 134927). The editing of The Collected Stories should not be paid by a percentage of royalties; a flat sum should be paid. There is also a handwritten draft of this letter (document 314995A) and some notes written on circular disk of cardboard. Edith doesn't believe the editing of letters is at all onerous.

Felton states that his fees are higher than Edith has (mis)understood.

"We have really got into quite a tangle over this problem" concerning the costs of editing The Collected Stories. Edith wrote questions on this letter.

Felton sends Edith new drafts of the Executors accounts for signature.

Edith asks if there are Estate funds to which she is entitled.

Felton will be writing to Ken Coates. The letter was written on the same day (document 315001). He tells he how much it is prudent for her to draw out.

Edith does not wish to draw out any funds any present.

The enclosed photocopied letter is from Ken Coates, 28 April (document 3145003A); the typed carbon is document 314608.

Edith is coming to London, but there are no outstanding business matters.
