"You may well imagine my pleasurable surprise—and gratitude—today at receiving your package containing BR's 'Private Memoirs' in its various versions. ... Yes, it is nice to get the grant. I think Russell studies are going to flourish in a few years' time."

Re BR's proposed "Old Testament Reader". "It is most unlikely that more than a very small minority would be upset by such a book."

"BR is quite enthusiastic about this himself but is uncertain how such a book would be received, and encouragement from you could be decisive at this stage."

"We act on behalf of Lord Russell (Bertrand Russell), whose attention has been called to the issues of your magazine of the 19th and 26th October, containing an insertion relating to a so-called 'Encyclopoedia of Sexual Education' ... which we understand includes among the names of those appearing in the list of contributors, the name of our client, Lord Russell. ... He is not of course, a contributor to the work referred to."

"I have to suggest a slight difference in the list of books that you give. I do not think that Education and the Social Order or The Way to Peace [Which Way to Peace?] are important enough to mention, but I think you ought to include Principia Mathematica (in collaboration with A.N. Whitehead) as this is my chief claim to academic recognition."

A memorandum: "I confirm that Chris Farley wanted us to check whether we had a copy of Russell's essay 'Science as an Element' which first appeared in New Statesman on the 24th May 1913 and later in Anthology of Essays by Professor V.E. Amend."

At the bottom there is a reply: "No copy available but currently in print. Published title: 'The Place of Science in a Liberal Education'. Original title: 'Science as an Element in Culture'. The New Statesman, May 24 and 31 1913, two parts. Reprinted in Mysticism and Logic 1918. No. 45 Unwin paperback."
