Levitas asks BR to write an article for him and mentions an article in The Nation on "the Indian problem". Levitas asks permission to transcribe and reprint BR's upcoming lectures at the Rand School. [This was the "Problems of Democracy" series.]

Levitas requests permission to quote from Patricia Russell's previous letter on the New Leader's handling of the India question. Levitas asks if BR will write articles for him and if he may publish BR's contribution to a debate in New York, 1942/10/09. (This debate is otherwise unknown.)

Levitas sends a full transcript (not present) of a speech by Churchill for an article BR will write for the New Leader.

Levitas explains the delay in sending BR his cheque for his article and (travelling?) expense and suggests that The New Leader "could be a very excellent 'home' for your writings".

Levitas requests an article on "Morals, Manners and Customs in Wartime" or on anything else BR would like to write on.

Having seen the article in Common Sense (B&R C43.11), Levitas asks BR to write for The New Leader regularly, but at least one article before BR goes to England.

Levitas explains that most of the contributors for The New Leader are not compensated for their articles, but BR's situation is different and they will pay him. Levitas writes as if BR has agreed to contribute, and asks for topics to announce.

Having conversed with BR, Levitas asks BR to write regularly for The New Leader and to notify him when the first piece will be ready so it can be announced.

Levitas regrets that BR does not have enough time to write two articles a month for The New Leader but is looking forward to two articles BR promised to write.

Levitas acknowledges the article BR sent to Algernon Lee (chairman of the Rand School) and congratulates BR on the trial verdict concerning the Barnes Foundation.

Levitas reports that BR's articles in The New Leader are widely read. He requests a lunch meeting when BR is in New York.

Levitas sends BR a cheque and asks BR to consider writing for the New Leader after he has returned to England.

Levitas asks BR to write a monthly article and encloses a cheque for $20. (Levitas sets out recent payments to BR, but omits the last 2 articles, which were not published until August 12 and September 2.)

Levitas thanks BR for his letter and article "The German Disaster" and invites him to write monthly articles.

Patricia declines an invitation to BR to write for the New Leader at present. BR would be interested in doing so in the future.

Levitas may not publish BR's Rand School lectures because they will be part of a book. (The book never appeared.) BR wrote for The Nation because he disagreed with Louis Fischer's article on the subject of India and the failure of the Cripps mission. He has not felt the need to reply to any of the New Leader's articles because "he thinks you have handled the Indian situation a great deal more intelligently than any other left-wing paper". (This view of BR's was published by Levitas in the New Leader, 10 Oct. 1942 (B&R C42.09a).)

He found nothing to disagree with in Harry Paxton Howard's article. Patricia encloses (not present) a statement on India for American Forum of the Air next Sunday (11 October). BR hopes to write letters and articles "for a great many different papers" on India.

BR sends a promised article on Churchill. He looks forward to the New Leader dinner on April 11, but Patricia Russell will not be able to attend.

BR will be at the Hotel Commodore at 7 pm on Sunday (11 April). "I never write out speeches".

BR is too busy with an upcoming book to write an article, as the book (History of Western Philosophy) "must be finished in September".

BR would be glad to contribute to the New Leader but would need compensation, though BR understands that the paper is poor ("The good always are!"). BR will not be able to return home until next summer due to Portugal's non-neutrality. He asks Levitas to inform Mr. Lee. (Algernon Lee was head of the Rand School.)

BR is unable to write an article for Levitas every two weeks, but will bring him a 4,000 word article tomorrow. BR had this message telephoned.

BR has arranged with Mr. Shapiro for the scripts from his five February broadcasts on WEVD to be provided to Levitas.

BR will leave the script each week. (Theodore Shapiro was the executive director of the Rand School.)

BR asks Levitas to change the phrasing in a script from "the quarrel between President and Congress" to "the new forms of what were formerly isolationist opinions" so that it does not seem as though he has views on the upcoming Presidential election. [In fact, the original phrase was unaltered in the article finally published on 12 August.]

BR requests the remainder of his payment because he will be leaving the country next month.

BR will be leaving for England any day and would like the balance owed to him for his articles. "$20" is written in another hand on the letter. Russell wrote by hand the "Peacock Inn" address.

BR sends an article for publication that will also be published in the Glasgow Forward. He asks that any fee be donated to relief efforts in Germany.

BR declines Levitas's request to contribute regularly because he is too busy, but will consider it in future when he has more time.

BR thanks Stickland for The Manners and Customs of Ye Englishe. BR has verified the characters in the House of Commons picture. BR knew Mrs. Belloc Lowndes. BR's Aunt Blanche (Lady Airlie) was interested in birth control, but the information she obtained from BR's mother after visiting the Oneida community "was not sufficient to prevent her from becoming the grandmother of Lady Churchill."

BR has nothing further to say (on Nehru), since he has just sent a message to The Times of India.

BR remembers well the days when Florence was president of the Heretics, but BR cannot add to his speaking appointments this year.

BR gives Notari his deepest sympathy over her late fiancé, who produced a typescript on philosophy. Although it treats "possibility" as more substantial than it seems to BR, he thinks the work has merit. BR recommends sending it to Ayer or Paul Weiss, editor of The Review of Metaphysics.

BR sends £5 because the Society "seems to provide exactly what is needed in the way of adventure that does no harm and some good."

"Unwin statement > Madams".

"Messrs G.A. and Unwin. Address > Plas P.—3rd person".

"Typescript arrived intact today absorbed".

BR is glad to know Wisdom of the West is to be published on October 5.

BR denies Dewey was a nihilist. "I have always thought his philosophy identical with that of the early Marx as expressed in the Theses on Feuerbach."

"Return proof to Encounter".

BR hopes to hear from Hervey as soon as she has new philosophical ideas. He and Edith very much enjoyed her visit.

"Address not 41 Queen's Road > GPO".

BR encloses (not present) a postscript to his Autobiography. "If I live to be a hundred, I will send you another."

BR suggests Lockhart get in touch with him when he comes to England the next summer.

BR agrees to the publication in Japan of "Bertrand Russell Reflects" in The Listener.

BR approves quotations for Dale Carnegie's Scrapbook, and adds a postscript that he has found greater happiness in marriage.

BR suggests the writer contact the Cardiff branch of the anti-nuclear campaign.

BR altered nothing in the draft address to Pugwash that Rotblat sent him.

"Cheque for $50 > Child".

BR "is strongly of the opinion that vivisection is ethically justifiable" but cannot take time from urgent work to write about it.

"Look up World Government card".

BR is willing to be a supporter of Isely's committee, but not an "active" one.

"With kindest regards".

BR cannot write an article for him, and points out that he wrote one on Russian conduct in Hungary in November 1956.

BR thanks her for "the excellently done portrait".

[This letter should not have been classified as 710.]

Not a letter but a square-bracketed note, presumably for Edith alone, concerning [illegible] "and hair".
