BR is to visit Davies. Someone has had an operation that was successful. In document .048910 he is identified as Arthur Llewelyn Davies.

Dated 1906 because the letter is found between two 1906 letters dealing with Arthur's illness, but it could be from the time after Theodore's death in 1905.

On Arthur, who is dying, and his wife, Sylvia. The letter is written on a sheet of letterhead of Withers Bensons Withers and Davies, where Crompton Llewelyn Davies was a partner.

This is a transcription of document .048912. Also in the file: a carbon copy of this transcription. Both are corrected by BR.

Dummett thanks BR for agreeing to show him his correspondence with Frege.

Dummett suggests another time for viewing the Frege letters.

Dummett has the photostats of Frege's letters to BR and raises archival and philosophical questions.

Dummett reports on his trip to the Frege Archives at Münster, Germany. He briefly describes Frege's late political views, including anti-Semitism.

On Frege's life and writings, including lost correspondence with Wittgenstein. Dummett describes Frege's late political views in detail.

Dummett asks BR to translate his letters to Frege. Scholz has died, and Hermes is organizing a cooperative editorial project.

Dummett tells BR that he did write his letters to Frege in German.

Dummett encloses copies of BR's letters to Frege (not present) for BR to translate.

BR cannot undertake to translate his "very confused and unsatisfactory" letters to Frege, as "I am absolutely overwhelmed by work which I believe to be important", and "I was bewildered by the contradiction."

Dummett asks BR to reconsider his decision not to translate his letters to Frege. The use of nuclear weapons is indefensible.

BR cannot "undertake anything avoidable" but will read Dummett's translation of his letters to Frege. BR has "no views about copyright in the letters and would agree to anything suggested."

On returning the copies BR has of his letters to Frege.

Edelman informs BR about a case which he has been working on for years: the "closed" case of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. He quotes a letter from Einstein that applauds his efforts to further understand the case in question.

BR responds to Edelman's letter sympathetically. He believes the Rosenberg case to be important. In France, a judicial decision was reversed on the Dreyfus case, resulting in a more humane, liberal government. BR thinks a reversal on the Rosenberg case could do the same for the U.S. He adds that Edelman would benefit from making connections to Morton Sobell's case.

Kerr asks BR to reconsider visiting Edinburgh if he is granted the Freedom Award by the city council. There is a special ceremony in honour of the recipient and BR's presence would be appreciated.

Edgerton informs BR that she enjoyed his "A Free Man's Worship". She asks if he could expand his comments on "objectivity in connection with good and evil". She asks for a copy of Mysticism and Logic. Edgerton's enclosure is about loving goodness, from The Friends' Intelligencer, 8 Sept. 1921. The letter must refer to the Mosher edition, which was published a year later than the letter's date; hence the letter has been re-dated.

Kerr is a councillor for the Labour group in Edinburgh and would like to recognize BR for his anti-war efforts. He asks BR for his approval in having the freedom of the City of Edinburgh conferred upon him. There is a note in Edith's hand at the top of the letter that says: "O.K. If I don't have to go to Edinburgh. Please make this promise clear in replying. R"

BR says that Kerr has his approval for the submission of his name for the Freedom of the City of Edinburgh. He asks Kerr to refer to Who's Who for biographical details and informs Kerr that he will not be able to go personally to Edinburgh for the award.

They have had seven officials kidnapped, and Gray has been unable to respond to BR's letter due to the excess work he has had to bear.

Harrison informs BR that the Science Faculty Rectorial Committee has nominated him for the upcoming rectorial elections. He asks for BR's consent.

BR asks Harrison if the university will need help to cover the expenses for the rectorial contest. BR says that if need be, he can be sent an estimate and will contribute. He is unsure of whether this action would be considered customary or proper.

In German. Einstein discusses approaching neutral nations and mentions Whitehead as if he is still living.

Translation of document .049701, record. Einstein notes BR's "fine letter to the N.Y. Times" as "a good service for a good cause". He says that no other public figure has yet to call the U.S. politicians on their wrong doings. Feelings of xenophobia toward Russians and communists are being validated and strengthened by their attempt to get re-elected. Hence, the Rosenberg case has been ignored by the Eisenhower administration.

Harrison thanks BR for his offer to help finance the rectorial elections. He says the bill is not overwhelming yet, but they will take advantage of BR's kind offer if anything out of the ordinary comes up.

Harrison informs BR that the position for rector was filled by James Robertson, who had 31% of the votes. BR had 19%.

Einstein informs BR that he has written to Niels Bohr and hopes that he will get in touch with BR soon. He asks BR to take on the role of "dictator" in the Russell-Einstein Manifesto. He asks BR to consider inviting Albert Schweitzer to be a part of their group as his moral influence is greatly felt.

Edman's poem to BR after he read Why Men Fight, published in the New York Tribune, 28 Feb. 1917.

Edwards thanks BR for his contribution to Curry's retirement gift.

Einstein thanks BR for his letter of Apr. 5, 1955. He is glad to sign BR's statement and agrees with BR's choice of prospective signers. (The original of this letter was on tour with the Einstein exhibition until 2005. A photocopy of both the letter and envelope is in file.)

Edwards has gone through the philosophical parts of BR's book. The title isn't given, but it is most likely The Principles of Mathematics, published the same month. Ellis adds that he will soon send for BR's work on Leibniz.

BR apologizes for his late reply. He is in the U.S. and will not be able to meet Dr. Revesz when he visits England.

BR uses W.W. Norton & Company, Inc. letterhead for this communication.

Edwards asks BR for a photograph of the finished bust that Epstein created. He would like to compare his work to that of the "Master". He would like to know when the bust will be viewed publicly. BR's response is summarized at the top.

Edwards tells BR he refused the war quite late. He found it wrong to "descend to the requisite animal depths of fear, to kill men".

He believes that his psychological reactions necessitated his pacifism and so he cannot rationally explain his stance. He wants to work in progressive education and asks BR for counsel on what he could do post-war (possibly writing from a hospital).

Edwards mentions "seeing your article in the Crusader". Edwards' return address is RAMC, 103, BR. Gen. Hosp. Cm 7. (RAMC is Royal Army Medical Corps.) (The Crusader was an Armed Forces newspaper, the Eighth Army weekly, published from 2 May 1942 to 26 May 1946, nos. 1-208. Colindale has it. It reprinted, fairly intact, "Bertrand Russell on the Problems of Peace" in the issue of 6 May 1945.)

Einstein has studied, with great interest, a good deal of BR's work. He has talked about it with Paul Oppenheim who is interested in sense data. They would like to visit BR one morning or afternoon. He asks for BR to reply if this is convenient.

Einstein hopes BR can help with the initiative of other scientists, including Linus Pauling, to educate the world about atomic energy. The Committee asks for BR's monetary support toward a goal of one million dollars for the cause of education about the "most revolutionary force since prehistoric man's discovery of fire".

Dunham tells BR that Einstein read the galley proofs (of Man Against Myth) and objected to his treatment of logical positivism. "... Dr Barnes has been singularly quiet since his defeat at your hands." Patricia Russell noted that the letter was answered on 4 Dec. 1946.

In German. Dora Russell tells Einstein that BR is in the U.S. Their son of ten is excited by "einen brief von Einstein".
