| 78151 | Lort-Phillips sends BR a new attempt "to organize my thinking on defence". "I entirely agree with your admirable article in the Western mail...." (Not in B&R.) |

| 78166 | Lowe asks about Whitehead's early belief in a merely mechanical universe. |
| 78167 | Before 1918, when Eric Whitehead died, Whitehead had no definite opinions in philosophy. Afterwards a philosophy like Bergson's was needed, he told BR, since otherwise there would be no justification of induction. |
