BR has agreed to a lecture at Girton in August on "Philosophy and Common Sense". The letter's year comes from the reference to Karin Costelloe's Tripos success (see SLBR 1: 370 n.2).

BR has referred Jones to “On Denoting”. She is replying to a letter he wrote on the article, "Mr. Russell's Objections to Frege's Analysis of Propositions", which she published in Mind, July 1910.

The following is a chronology of the interactions of BR and Jones in 1910–11, which helps in providing the year of each of her extant letters to BR. The chronology draws upon unpublished work by James Levine and Bernard Linsky.

• July 1910 Jones publishes “Mr. Russell’s Objections to Frege’s Analysis of Propositions” in Mind, using (but not naming) only "On Denoting". The paper directs many questions at BR.
• Aug.? 1910 Rhetorical or not, the questions (or some of them) are addressed by BR in a lost letter he wrote to Jones.
• 5 Aug. [1910] Jones thanks BR for an exposition of his views; she counter-argues in detail.
• 14 Oct. 1910 BR begins his lecture course “The Fundamental Concepts of Mathematics”. [L&L, p. 12]
• 2 Nov. [1910] Jones asks if she and “some friend” may attend the “Concepts of Mathematics” course.
• 1 Dec. [1910] Jones thanks BR for the course and cites Principles of Mathematics.
• 2 Dec. 1910 Jones delivers “Categorical Propositions and the Law of Identity” to the Cambridge Moral Sciences Club (CMSC) [summary in minutes, L&L, p. 79]. Published as “A New ‘Law of Thought’ ”, Mind, Jan. 1911. 
• 3 March 1911 BR delivers “Knowledge by Acquaintance and Knowledge by Description” (KAKD) to CMSC. Jones “took a very active part” in the ensuing discussion [minutes, L&L, p. 80].
• 10 March 1911 BR delivers KAKD to the Aristotelian Society. Jones is not noted in the minutes as participating in the discussion.
• [19 March 1911 BR’s affair – and almost daily correspondence – with Lady Ottoline Morrell begins. This is too late for BR to remark on his controversy with Jones, and she is apparently not referred to until 1914.]
• 22 May 1911 BR speaks on ?? at Girton College.
• 29 May 1911 Jones delivers “A New ‘Law of Thought’ ” to the Aristotelian Society, which includes a response to BR’s KAKD. She refers (p. 175) to the newly published Principia Mathematica. BR is not noted in the minutes as participating in the discussion.
  Her paper seems to be the textual basis of her 1911 book, A New Law of Thought and Its Logical Bearings (Girton College Studies, no. 4; Cambridge U. Press), which has 3 pages on BR, though she does not refer to PM. Her paper may therefore postdate her book; in this regard, Stout’s preface to the book is dated March 1911.
• 26 June 1911 Jones thanks BR for agreeing to give a lecture at Girton College in August.
• 7 Aug. [1911] BR speaks on “Philosophy and Common Sense” at Girton. [L&L, p. 24]
