Draft telegram in BR's hand, on the letter described in record 59521.

"I don't intend to be made an invalid of permanently, but 'the Russell case' and three of my family in bed with flu, all happening when I was just out of hospital, have left me rather a wreck, with only enough energy left to wish I had enough energy to write you a detective story 'The Murder of Bertrand Russell'. There would be so many suspects."

Two typed copies are attached.

There is also a copy of the telegram.

Second telegram sent the same day.

There are two telegrams photocopied on one sheet, both undated.

Ts. is a legal contract for the ms. titled An Inquiry into Meaning and Truth.

BR's note refers to their governess, Pam Campbell.

Although written letterhead of the Deanery, Bryn Mawr, BR says in the letter that he will be at the Bell and Clapper, Phoenixville, PA. He goes to Harvard on Sept. 30.

Another letter, same date.
