Record no. Notes, topics or text
80701
BR has supplied the year. Costelloe is writing a thesis.
80702

A transcription of document .056570, record 80701; also a carbon copy. BR has corrected both and annotated the ribbon copy re Leonie Keyserling (later Sternberg).

80703

Costelloe thanks BR for his letter of congratulations on her engagement to Adrian Stephen.

80704

Dated 1948 because of her reference to their plan to see one another, for by then BR might not have seen her for the remarked-on 10 years. There is no reference to Adrian Stephen, who died in 1948.

BR's appointments diary has an entry for her on 23 Nov. 1948, 1 Upper Harley Str., 8:30+.

80705

Stephen thanks BR for a copy of his "easy" book and lectures beginning Tuesday [which would be the course on "The Analysis of Mind" that began 6 May 1919].

Dated in Edith Russell's hand, but may be later.

On denoting concepts and "the King of England".

80771

80772

Edith expands on the background to the "unhappy rift" based on a letter Hollond wrote about 1944 and that BR saw then at the top of a bundle concerning BR and Trinity.

80773

Holland asks BR if he would be a referee for a BBC position for which he may apply.
