Re "On Denoting" and Mind: "When I first sent my theory of descriptions to Mind in 1905, Stout thought it such rubbish that he almost refused to print it." [BR wrote "description".]

BR remarks on his airplane accident at Trondheim.

BR asks for Quine's "blessing" on his article on Warnock and for the suggestion of a journal.

BR asks Quine to evaluate the logic of David Spencer-Brown, which he finds "extremely remarkable".

BR is honoured by Quine's dedication of a book to him and is interested in how he will manage with "weakened existence axioms". The verso has a false start on the letter.

BR is highly honoured by Quine's Set Theory. On classes that cannot be members of classes of classes. Humans as the null class. Principia.

BR has read a recent paper by Quine. BR asserts that Frege did write to him that "Arithmetic totters".

Quine's abstract is of a lecture entitled "On the Theory of Logical Types".

A brief note identifying Radhakrishnan.

He is glad to know that BR likes his Indian Philosophy and can quite understand how early Buddhism appeals most to BR.

Radhakrishnan recommends that BR meet Acharya J.B. Kripalani.

An open letter re Hiroshima Day.

BR has begun reading The Comfortable Inn.

"As for Spinoza, I have always admired and loved him for his attitude towards human affairs. I have never thought much of him as a metaphysician, but in spite of that he has always been one of my heroes."

At the top of BR's letter (document .052947, record 2205) is a transcription of a telegram received from Millay. She has a sprained ankle and cannot come until next week. She thanks BR for his "lovely letter".

Also in file: a complete photocopy, taken after the Moore papers arrived at Cambridge.

BR praises Moore's dissertation. On "is". BR's Leibniz lectures are to begin.

Ramsey will be pleased to read BR's proofs, but is too busy to read the manuscript for some time.

Ramsey writes on identity and would like to publish his dissertation. He asks BR to recommend it to Mathematische Annalen.

Ramsey thanks BR for sending him his book (probably The Analysis of Matter, which was published in July 1927).

BR has provided the year as 1927, but he is mistaken for he was in the U.S. on a lecture tour in the autumn of 1927. The year is probably 1926. In the autumn of 1926 BR gave the Tarner Lectures at Trinity College.

Ramsey invites BR to dine "next Friday" and writes on compresence. BR's appointments diary for 1926 notes a lunch date with Ramsey for Nov. 12.

Dated "[1919]" in Edith Russell's hand, but these notes belong with the letter at document .111547, record 82752.

Ramsey suggests corrections to parts of a text—proofs of (e.g., p. xiv) the introduction to the 2nd edition of Principia; proofs of the bibliography (pp. xlv-xlvi); and makes new suggestions for the bibliography. The bibliographical suggestions (1 leaf) must also relate to proofs of the introduction, since BR adopted them and yet they were not inserted on his manuscript.

Ramsey thanks BR for his willingness to see Damble.

Randall sets out an incoherent explanation for the behaviour that he and his guests indulged in. Mr. Stokes, presumably Russell's neighbour, had complained to Russell. He promises: "I will do my best to prevent anything like it occurring again." Randall then goes on to ask Russell to attend a discussion on China at the Eighty Club in early October.

BR states that the following correspondence illustrates his difficulties in finding a place to live upon his return from China, for he was not "respectable".

Chester concludes that the terms are unacceptable to BR.

BR suggests that Rao emphasize Power, for its thesis that management is more important than ownership, which Marx did not realize.

Rao asks BR to donate The Analysis of Mind.

Rasdall is glad of BR's willingness to autograph his copy of Satan in the Suburbs.

On topics in philosophical psychology.

Watson thanks BR for an offprint of "On Propositions" and will read his book manuscript. He refers to Robinson on behaviourism.

Watson has acquired The Analysis of Mind and explains the switch to his new employer, J. Walter Thompson Co.

Watson sends BR page proofs (not present) of his Dial review of The Analysis of Mind and invites BR to reply. He is glad that Rand School has announced that BR will teach there this fall, and invites him to dinner. He keeps scotch and port on hand.

Watson cannot contribute to the new journal whose prospectus BR circulated. His nursery experiments are being continued at Columbia.

BR has supplied the year. Watson invites BR to talk to his class at the New School for Social Research and to stay with him.
