| 77603 | Schoenman asks £3 for BR's peace work in response to a request for BR's signature. |
| 77604 | BR leaves a note about Philip Jourdain for his files: "These letters are from Philip Jourdain, who had creeping paralysis. In the last years of his life he invented a proof that every aggregate can be well-ordered. It was obviously fallacious, but no one liked to tell him so. He became embittered and venemous [sic], having until then been very friendly." |
| 77605 | Jourdain thanks BR for his "beautiful" Principles of Mathematics and sends some notes (for possible revision). |
| 77606 | On Burali-Forti's contradiction. |
| 77607 | On proving the assumption of a multiplicative class. |
| 77608 | On existential import. Jourdain asks BR to stay with him in July. |
| 77609 | Re Frege's notes on Jourdain's account of his work: "I send you all I can find". Jourdain asks for the symbolic translation of the deceased wife's sister's bill, and a proof of God by "an infinite complex of false propositions". |
| 77610 | A transcription of document .051620. |
| 77611 | Jourdain discusses a passage in Aristotle and refers to BR's lecture mentioning the Pythagoreans. Jourdain wants back the parts of "Nature of Acquaintance". |
| 77612 | The year is a guess. A short covering letter appears at the top of poem, "The War and Christianity". |
| 77613 | A transcription of document .051624; also a carbon copy. |
| 77614 | On publishing plans for BR with his revived interest in philosophy. Dorothy Wrinch has obtained a grant. |
| 77615 | A transcription of document .051627; also a carbon copy. |
| 77616 | Jourdain suggests E.K. Honey as publisher of the book version of BR's logic lectures. He asks about the roles of Cantor and Peano in BR's starting work in mathematical logic. |

| 77618 | Jourdain would like to see BR for a minute. |
| 77619 | Jourdain likes BR's lectures. "May they go to the Monist exactly as they are?" |

| 77622 | Paul Carus is dead. The multiplicative axiom is not insoluble. |
| 77623 | BR has repeated himself on descriptions in the Introduction to Mathematical Philosophy. Jourdain asked Allen and Unwin if they will proceed against The Monist "for copyright". Payment from Mrs. Carus: she is upset by Paul Carus' death and shouldn't be bothered for some time. Jourdain is hopeful BR will write to him about the multiplicative axiom, on which he feels as strongly as Browning on (delta epsilon) (cited by BR in IMP). |
| 77624 | Jourdain asks if his letter of May 24 reached BR. It was on the multiplicative axiom. |
