An empty envelope addressed to BR. Christopher Farley has written on it: "Crawshay-Wms. nonsense".

Edmunds forwards a card (not present) from Alarco to BR.

Stetler looks forward to meeting Edmunds. He sends information of the U.S. Committee for Justice to Latin American Political Prisoners and encloses a copy of the transcript of a radio interview. They also discuss forming a Foundation branch in Peru. The first branch was established in Uruguay.

Edmunds shows interest in the possibility of opening a BRPF branch in Lima.

In Spanish. Signed by 16 others.

This is a transliteration of the Chinese version of BR's "First Impressions of China". See the Chinese clipping, document .048308.

This document states BR's opinion on the uses and methods of education in China. The manuscript is partly in the handwriting of Dora Black, presumably through dictation from BR.

BR tries to correct some misconceptions that were printed in an article on 14 December. The misconceptions were about BR's lectures in China and his stand on Bolshevism.

BR encloses a copy of an article that he recently sent to the Sin Wan Pao Co. for publication.

BR has read the article dealing with his views on Bolshevism. BR sees a difference between Christianity and Bolshevism and the Communism that was part of early Christianity.

BR encloses a letter on Anglo-American relations which he now feels would have been better not to have been published. He gives the editor permission to take any points from the letter and use them as his. If he feels that the letter would do more harm then good then he should not publish it. Marked "Private".

Schoenman has still not replied to Crawshay-Williams' letter from last November concerning the misunderstanding. There is a carbon copy of the letter in the file.

Crawshay-Williams writes to BR about the misunderstanding between Schoenman and himself because it is still unresolved.

Although he did not intend it, Crawshay-Williams can see how Schoenman misinterpreted his original letter concerning the BR Peace Fund.

Schoenman attempts to conclude their correspondence.

Also in file: a TL(TC) copy of the letter.

Williams, BR's landlord, writes about the BR Peace Fund problem. He encloses a copy of the letter to the editor calling for donations. For the signatures see record 648.

Burn is glad that the controversy concerning the BR Peace Fund is cleared up.

Burn recalls BR's words at the thank-you meeting after the Cuban Missile Crisis: "I do not consider that I have altered the course of history by one hair's-breadth." Burn then comments: "Well, one day, when the archives are opened, it may become clear whether you did or not."

Not a letter, but a plan of the seating at a dinner for BR. It is referred to in Johnston's letter of 19 Nov. 1920 at record 75879, document .048252.

This is a receipt for a purchase, entirely in Chinese characters.

Dora states: "Russell's death unfounded, may recover". See RA1 410 for the originals of these telegrams transcribed here as documents .048297-.0482976c.

Condolences on the "death" of BR.

The envelope has written on it: "Dr. Essen | Peking", but BR's doctor's name was Esser.

Dr. Esser's medical report on BR's illnesses and his stage of recovery includes the following text as found:

"Mr. Bertrand Russell was in March April and the following months suffering from pneumonia on both the lungs, after it he got thrombosis of veins on the right leg with a lof of absesses in consequence. He could not stand his severe disease without large quantities of Campher-Oil and Digitalis. His heart now is still in a very weak condition, sometimes he gets swollen feet. It is to have very much attention on the frequence of the puls and the quantity of urine. The wounds from incisions on his leg will getting close by themselves."

On knowledge from perception, and its relative certainty. (Drafted by Schoenman?)

Miss Cross has attended both of BR's lecture courses at Gordon Square.

Crosser has extended his stopover in England and plans to come to Wales to pay his respects to BR.

BR would be happy to see Crosser on Aug. 18 and invites him to stay for supper as well.

BR is glad to hear what Crosser tells him about the Russian translations of his books. His publisher will look after the royalties. BR has heard there was an invitation from Khrushchev to him.

On BR getting royalties for his works that are translated into Russian, possible articles for the Russian journal Voprosi Filosofii, problems in India, and BR's books being translated into Japanese.

BR is "sorry, if not surprised" to find that poverty in India is so bad. It is good of Crosser to look into his fees for the Russian translations of his books. He cannot do an article for Voprosi Filosofii because he is not doing any philosophical work at the moment and his time is fully occupied with immediate matters.

Chwistek is sending BR (for Whitehead, too) the first half of his paper, corresponding to Principia, vol. 2.

Chwistek sends the second half of his paper on Principia.

Chwistek is happy that BR is "again interested in logic".

This is a transcription of document .018333. Also in file is a TL(CAR) of this transcription. Both are corrected by BR.

Chwistek hopes that BR will introduce an eventual English translation of his book, just like that of Wittgenstein's which he is now reading.

Chwistek has been "invited by the P.W. ("Contemporary Review") appearing in Krakow to write an article about you and your works."

Clark appreciates BR's Common Sense and Nuclear Warfare.

The workers at the this Stoke Newington Factory praise BR (addressed in Brixton) for his "magnificent stand and great personal sacrifice in the cause of world peace".

The writer discloses his or her "diabolical" "presentiment".

BR is charged with "using reason to the destruction of rational thought".

A Danish boy of 17 seeks consolation in philosophy. [BR answered the letter but the reply cannot be located in his dictation.]

A sympathetic anonymous correspondent adapts the words of Col. Richard Lovelace on BR's imprisonment.

Also in file: a TEL(TC,CAR) copy.

BR has received some Russian royalties.

Crosser has started to write an anti-war book. The outline, which is enclosed, is titled Is War Obsolete?. He asks BR to write a foreword for the book.

BR would like to see Crosser's proposed book before he commits to writing a preface for it. He has received the royalties for the Russian translation of History of Western Philosophy.

Crosser reports on the 13th International Congress of Philosophy, Mexico City. He has wrongly dated the letter 1962, as the Congress was held in 1963.

Crosser thanks BR for the autographed photograph. He encloses the table of contents for War Is Obsolete.

Crosser has finished his anti-war book and would like to send it to BR to read in the hope he would write a foreword for it. BR's response is written at the foot of the page in Schoenman's hand.

BR would be pleased to read Crosser's manuscript.

This is a transcription of document .048743. Also in the file: a carbon copy of this transcription. BR has corrected it, with an error in Crowley's name.

The card certifies that BR is a Knight of the International Mark Twain Society.

BR has "been ill for some time".
