On Walt Whitman. The letter, enclosed with document .053044, record 78735, had been returned to Moore because of Alys Russell's death.

BR enclosed this formal report to Trinity (although the recipient is not specified) with his letter of same date to G.E. Moore (see document .053038, record 78706). The report is on Wittgenstein's recent researches. It has additions in BR's hand.

The "Notes on Logic" summary; the first typescript, heavily revised in Wittgenstein's hand and "copy-edited" in Russell's. This document was retyped as the first 8 leaves of document .057824, record 81829.

The "Notes on Logic", BR's translation in manuscript of 4 lost original manuscripts by Wittgenstein. Russell numbered the sections "Wittgenstein | First MS.", etc.

The "Notes on Logic", second typescript. This is a typescript of Russell's handwritten translation (document .057823, record 81828) of Wittgenstein's original 4 manuscripts. Russell corrected the typing and wrote roman-numeral classification numbers in the margin by Wittgenstein's remarks. A new typescript must have been made from this to form the "Costello version", published in 1957 in The Journal of Philosophy. The new typescript is not extant in the Russell Archives.

Costello's version is reproduced in the first edition of Wittgenstein's Notebooks, 1914-1916, App. I. Russell's version before he rearranged the remarks is reproduced in the second edition of Wittgenstein's Notebooks, 1914-1916, App. I. See Michael Potter, Wittgenstein's Notes on Logic (Oxford U.P., 2009), pp. 276ff.

Not a letter but the "Blue Book". Most of the book is mimeographed, but several leaves are ribbon copy. Foliated to 96.
