Letter was written to Edith Russell to get around Schoenman who had denied Utley her request to see BR.

The letter was for sale by Gerard A.J. Stodolski, Inc. on Abebooks.com in 2011, and was still for sale on 23 April 2024. It is dated mistakenly there 1937/05/10. 

H. Hardy states the letter was originally stolen from Berlin's room and was first for sale in 1980. An extract, announcing that BR is moving to Kidlington, is found in The Collection of ... R.E.D. Rawlins, Sotheby & Co., London, 2–4 June 1980.The letter carries the circular insignia of the Rawlins collection. The extract from the letter is noted in B&R J80.03. The letter was withdrawn from sale. Sotheby's  again offered it for sale on 15 December 1992 and again misdated, this time 10 September 1957.

BR states he will accept an invitation to read a paper to the Oxford University Philosophical Society, if the topic is connected with his lectures. He did lecture to the Society on "Propositional Attitudes" on 13 February 1938.

Berlin's pocket diary for 19 Oct. 1937 has an entry "Tea Russell", which might have been at the Russells' new address or elsewhere in Oxford (information from Hardy). For a later meeting (tea at The Mitre) in Oxford, see Caroline Moorehead, Bertrand Russell: a Life (1992), p. 454.

BR introduces John Conrad to Berlin, to be stationed in Washington: "He could have been a philosopher but became instead a historian and a linguist...."

Berlin wrote about the visit elsewhere (Berlin, Letters 1: 560), in a letter to Christopher Cox, 14 May 1945. He recorded a visit from Sub-Lieutenant [John Conrad] Russell. "A few minutes later a dwarf walked in, smiled, and sat down on a chair, wordless. Upon further pressure he yielded up a note which said: 'This is to introduce my son, known to the law as Lord Amberley. Although he is my son, I think he is quite pleasant. Russell.'"

On p. 575 the recollected wording is slightly different: "I had a letter from him [BR] introducing him [JCR] thus, 'He is known to the law as Lord Amberley and, although he is my son, is, I believe, quite nice'."
