Dictated to Edith on a "with compliments" slip from Forward is the following: "Kindly discontinue sending me this. R".

"Lord Russell was impressed by your letter of the 13th March and I am hoping you will find the time on this trip to have a meeting with him."

"I shall be delighted and honoured if you name your son Russell."

The file also contains this telegram taken down by Edith over the telephone.

"It would be a source of great happiness to me if I could see Lord Russell. One of the dreams of my later life has been to meet him. The older I get the wiser he becomes, the more relevant to my situation and to that of all of us. I would very much like to meet Mr. Blackwell if he is around and at least have a talk with him that I hope would lead to more."
