BRACERS Record Detail for 80531
To access the original letter, email the Russell Archives.
On his Westminster School address, where he was "considering possibilities". Only The Times and The Observer would print his denial.
"I seem never to get to the end of the lying report you heard. What happened was this:
I made an address at Westminster School, considering the possibilities. I thought no reporter was present, but there was one, and he a communist. His untrue report got into all the papers. I instantly denied it, but no paper would print my denial except the Times and the Observer. However, the Nineteenth Century printed a verbatim report of my address about 8 months ago I think."

Dear Dora
I seem never to get to the end of the lying report you heard. What happened was this:
I made an address at Westminster School, considering possibilities. I thought no reporter was present, but there was one, and he a communist. His untrue report got into all the papers. I instantly denied it, but no paper would print my denial except The Times and The Observer. However, The Nineteenth Century printed a verbatim report of my address about 8 months ago I think.
Yours ever
B.R.
