Tanaka's letter was sent to Unwin.

Walsh forwards a letter from T. Tanaka.

Also signed by K.S. Watanabe. Originally filed in J's because the writers are from Japan.

BR was interviewed by Mrs. Waller for an unknown paper.

"I am interested by what you tell me about Mill's House in Avignon of which a picture stands on my mantelpiece."

Accepts position of President d'Honneur of J.S. Mill Committee to save house from destruction.

Mill's House was pulled down in October 1961.

Jean Redmond looked after 43 Hasker Street.

There is also a photo; presumably of Jean and Cecil Redmond.

"Lord Russell has just signed (or rather I've signed for him) the estimate from Harrods for moving our stuff to 43 Hasker Street."

"As soon as the move is made Lord Russell and [I] hope to come up to London to stay at 43 Hasker St. for a few days."

BR "is to start for the [television] studio (or a car will call for him) at a little before ten o'clock Monday morning and every morning through the following Saturday. He is to be allowed to come home for lunch and then is to return to the studio every afternoon."

"Unluckily his throat has been very bad for the past week and he has had to live on milk soup and soufflés."

"He has been having for lunch and dinner milk soup made of lentils or peas or potatoes or mixed vegetables—all of them strained. Steamed or baked lemon sole seems to go down too. He also seems to be able to swallow the following: ham or chicken (minced fine through the mincer twice) or fish or cheese soufflés; egg custard; stewed apples beaten up creamy; ground rice pudding with jelly or seedless jam sauce; ice cream with chocolate sauce; and I think he would be able to eat minced chicken or even minced lamb or ham if they were minced very fine and were not too dry. I think also he might be able to eat rice with the mince and mashed potatoes if the latter were beaten up to a creamy consistency. It is just possible that he would be able to swallow sweet breads as you do them—but I think it would be safer to try them for dinner than for lunch. Roast chicken and ham whole I fear he would not be able to manage and I do not feel sure of treacle pudding and I think the currants in spotted dog might stick and I mistrust his being able to swallow pie crust."

"It is the parlous [sic] state of the world that, I think has worried Lord Russell so that his throat does not work properly."

" ... it might be wise to get in some of those vegetable purées ... such as we used at 29 [Millbank] when Lord Russell's throat was so bad two or three springs ago."

Pamphlet is titled As a Weak Voice from Asian Peoples.

BR agrees to a meeting to discuss philosophy in Yugoslavia.

"We look forward to seeing you on Dec. 12."

BR's letter incorrectly addressed to Allen B. Tate.

"We are now hoping to go to London on April 14 and to arrive at 43 Hasker St. at the same time as the last two arrivals.... We fly to Denmark on the morning of April 18 ... and return to London for a few days on April 20...."

Re repairs and painting at 43 Hasker Street.

"We plan to arrive, as I am writing Jean, on Monday the 12th and to leave on Saturday the 17th, but we shall return again on Thursday the 22 or Friday the 23rd for the Trafalgar Sq. meeting on the 24th."

Thanks BR for letter and telegram in support of Coleg Harlech CND.

"Unfortunately, Lord Russell has fallen ill of a very severe case of shingles and must stay in bed for some time, and according to doctor's orders, not do any work until mid-June, so we shall not be able to take part as we had intended in the demonstration of 29 April."

"Lord Russell has now received one summons to appear in court on September 12 and another to appear in court on September 13, and I have received one to appear on Sept. 12. The Sept. 12 charges against us make us liable, we are told, to imprisonment—the maximum penalty being 6 months."

"We now expect to arrive at Hasker Street on next Saturday, Sept. 9th, as we shall have to see lawyers etc. bright and early on Monday."

Note in Edith Russell's hand; she has recorded the remarks of a taxi driver.

"I think you are quite right that the kitchen floor has gone and should be replaced, and I think too that you may find that a good deal of the rest of the flooring in the bedrooms and stairways and landings has gone too. We expect to have to return to London about 20 October...."

"Tell Jean that the press is still after us. There is one here now from the Liverpool Daily Post interviewing Lord Russell. And the telephone and the daily post are still appalling. But we are both very well and glad not to be in our respective gaols."

"As you know, Lord Russell left you £500 in his will, as I have done in mine. We both wished it might be much more—but you will know that, for you know, I hope, that we both were very fond and grateful to you for all that you did for us—as, of course, I still am. When you will receive the £500 from him, nobody knows.... Partly for this reason, I have decided to give you my £500 now instead of a bequest in my will...."
