BR declines to write a new testimonial for Lewy, saying the old one should do.
A group of 4 letters from BR (all to Casimir Lewy, one including a testimonial) and one a letter to him from Patricia Russell was to be auctioned on 21 June 2024, according to https://www.liveauctioneers.com/ and https://www.bonhams.com/auction/30293/lot/219/philosophers-bertrand-russell-and-ge-moore-collection-of-letters-to-eminent-cambridge-philosopher-casimir-lewy-1919-1991/, along with many letters from G.E. Moore.
Dr. Lewy (1919–1991) taught at Cambridge, Liverpool, and Cambridge again, where he was elected a fellow.
Two different images of the group of letters are included with this record.

Dear Lewy,
I am entirely willing to give you a testimonial. Did I not give you one on a former occasion? If so, it should serve again, mutatis mutandis.
All good wishes, both to both.
Yrs sincerely
Russell
