BR criticizes the review that day of Gellner's Words and Things. (The attached review is by Iris Murdoch.)

The Fabian Society thanks BR for his letter in reply to their request to lecture in the autumn. BR offered the title "Freedom in Society".

BR's late note on the letter: "[a Boston lady whom we knew well]". Fairchild has begun a third volume of her scrapbook which she seems to be offering for publication.

Fairchild tells BR of her experiences in New York City and how she is enjoying it. She wishes BR a happy New Year. There is more on her historical calendar. Friends are mentioned.

This is a transcription of document .049847. Also in file: a carbon copy. Both are corrected by BR.

Falk tells BR why he has not answered his letter. His father wishes to speak to Mrs. Boole before proceeding with publishing the book.

There is a note in BR's hand: "Mrs. Boole, widow of George Boole, of 'The Laws of Thought'".

Falk tells BR why he has taken so long to reply. His father has written a letter (document .049857) that Falk encloses for BR. Falk adds: "I am afraid the position is not a satisfactory one and I rather blame myself for mentioning the matter when I knew so little about it."

This is a carbon copy of a much shorter version of BR's response to Frankel's letter, document .050083.

In German. The letter is mounted, but not permanently.

Gernsback sends BR Ralph 124c 41 (in BR's library) and encloses a pamphlet, The Origin of the Term Science Fiction, and a Time reprint on himself.

Gertler cannot tear himself away from a new painting to accompany BR to the sea. (Possibly the date is wrong, as BR was still in Brixton Prison.)

Gertler comments on a lecture by BR, which may be one of the "Principles of Social Reconstruction" series. Gertler notes that the Army has refused him.

BR thanks Ghosh for the message on his 90th birthday.

On Gibbs' philosophical papers.

Gibbs writes on philosophy of value following BR's piece in Philosophy.

BR has read Gibbs' two papers and found one "very difficult to follow". BR is almost entirely absorbed in the "anti-H-bomb campaign for the present".

BR has no time to give Gibbs' letter the attention it deserves.

In German. These are some of the pages of remarks by Frege on P.E.B. Jourdain's chapter on Frege. See Frege's Philosophical and Mathematical Correspondence (Oxford: Blackwell, 1980), pp. 178ff.

In German. Photostat of the letter transcribed as document .050100. (BR gave Scholz the originals in the 1930s and received photostats in return.)

The date might be 1902/06/27, as the top of the last digit of the day of the month was missed in the photostat. But since Frege altered the date from "30", it seems likely he would have corrected the day due to having finished the letter a day earlier than he supposed when he began writing the letter and not 3 days earlier. The 29th also allows more time for BR's letter to reach Frege and for him to begin his reply. Both Frege's Briefwechsel and his Philosophical and Mathematical Correspondence have the 29th, although they do not remark on the partially lost number 9.

Fremantle congratulates BR for his "tremendously powerful prophetic article" in the Sunday Times.

BR asks Foot to join the BRPF's council of advisers.

Fremantle would like to visit BR in Wales on Palm Sunday, 14 April.

Fremantle asks BR if he can identify the people in an enclosed photograph (not present). She also asks for any photographs that BR might have of himself with any of the Fabians. She has known BR since she was 7, 43 years ago.

BR can only identify one person in the photograph that Fremantle enclosed and does not have any photographs of the type she requested. The person is Sidney Webb.

Frimit asks BR to help get his poem published in the Times Literary Supplement, the New Statesman, or anywhere else. He also asks if BR has been able to find a publisher for his book of poems titled The Broken Promise.

Frimit asks BR for a statement about his book The Broken Promise "as a means of countering the universal American critical silence". Frimit compares the police brutality of the demonstrations in London to the police cooperation in Stockholm.

Frimit thanks BR for his "generous statement" for his book of poetry. He tells BR about two other books that he is writing.

BR made his statement in a letter to Herbert Rosenbaum. It is not with the inscribed copy of The Broken Promise in BR's library, but see record 28539 for the text.

Fritz writes of his high opinion of BR and his work and asserts that they have "maintained, a quite consistent perspective".

BR gives his opinion of Fritz's book, which is high. "The epistemological aspect of my thinking has grown less."

Fritz is planning to edit a new book of selections from BR's writings on metaphysics, epistemology and philosophy of science, for the Free Press.

BR is interested in the idea of Fritz's new book, but thinks that there might be a problem finding an interested publisher and with the cost of reprinting copyrighted material.

On BR's role in the liberation of Heinz Brandt.

BR is puzzled by what he thinks is a typing error: "It will not help to diminish the force of the anti-Vietnam voices in the United States." BR sends a postscript and some recent articles in a separate letter. The letter must concern the International War Crimes Tribunal. BR states: "I do support the resistance of small people."

Gillett says he did not mean to make BR a martyr: "You only did your duty."

Gilson recalls an evening in Chicago when Patricia Russell recited sonnets from Shakespeare in "her lovely voice". Gilson was an economics professor at Chicago.

On a sacrilegious article in the Duke student newspaper.

Gilson encloses a clipping from Time about Albert C. Barnes.

BR on the U.S. south: "Generally the people who live in beautiful places are bad—e.g., Sicily."

BR says that his "row with Barnes seems now very distant."

A transcription of document .050305, record 1283; also with carbon copy. Both are corrected by BR.

Gatehouse supports BR's campaign of civil disobedience. She addressed the envelope to BR c/o the Campaign for Civil Disobedience c/o the Ministry of Defence, which opened and returned it to her, BR being "not known at" the Ministry of Defence. Gatehouse enclosed the letter with her next one, document .050204, record 1241.

BR objects to the editorial on the Ryle-Gellner dispute. "I certainly do not consider that any loyalty to me is involved."

Ryle has decided not to have a review of Gellner's Words and Things in Mind and returns the copy.

The Observer's review of Gellner is delayed. Iris Murdoch is the reviewer. BR has annotated the last paragraph: "For your opinion", meaning Gollancz's.

The letter is unsigned but is assumed to be from Gollancz. He, too, would favour more ventilation of the controversy.

Gollancz suggests that BR reply to letters in The Times about the Ryle-Gellner controversy.

BR states that he has replied to Kassman's letter, but does not think it is for him to reply to the others.

Loveday is glad that the pedants were "publicly rebuked from above" in the Gellner-Ryle controversy.

Fry and Mrs. Masefield are "having some 'stipulated' yearly time together."

Isabel Fry's brother was Roger Fry.

Fry seems suicidal because of her "smashed up existence".

On Shaw and Man and Superman.

"I see you approve the Education Bill." (BR did not appear in The Times on this but perhaps in Tribune?)

Fry refers to the new Liberal government.

Fry writes about BR's separation from Alys. "It will be a great loss to me if it means that I shall never see you."

Fry praises BR's "last book" of philosophy—Our Knowledge of the External World.

Fry encloses a letter (not present) from Bazalgette, a Pole, and asks BR to send articles on China to L'Oeuvre with more on the Japanese terror. Fry has been reading The Analysis of Mind.

Fry has been reading An Outline of Philosophy and suggests a French translator, Charles Mauron.
