Bernard Linsky comments: "The party at Fuller's on Sunday the 10th must have  been the party that inspired 'Mr Apollinax' ( After all, Russell speaks of Eliot as 'lacking in the crude insistent passion' that is necessary, while Eliot was daydreaming about Mr Apollinax, who is described as having 'submarine and profound' laughter, things suggesting force of personality. Both Russell and Eliot sensed something about each other.) What I can add is that I have searched through the correspondence and, although there were regular dinners and lunches, this was the only garden party in the afternoon that I found." (26 May 2015)

Lucy and Miss Finch [later Edith Russell] should come to tea on Sunday, [May] 29. "Yesterday war seemed imminent...." BR's year of 1937 must be mistaken.

Robertson is a man I know only slightly, but he has a considerable reputation." "How Keynes has expanded since he used to come and stay at Tilford!"

International politics and the bomb. "Meanwhile Rabbis and Muftis, Jinnah and Nehru, Tito and the Italians, etc., play their silly games. I am ashamed of belonging to the species homo sapiens." "I go about with the feeling that within 20 years England will have ceased to exist. It makes everything hectic, like the approach of closing time at a party in a hotel—'we are for the night.' A few bombs will destroy all our cities, and the rest will slowly die of hunger."

This condition is not fulfilled by your theory." ("Rel" and "prop" are spelt out here.)
