"I have been informed by the present Earl Russell that Child & Co. have for long been concerned with his family's affairs ... The late Earl Russell gave me a manuscript (which I consider to be of general interest), and I wish to make direct communication with his literary executor."

Nature presents BR with a complimentary copy of Sir Robert Watson-Watt's Man's Means to His End (Russell's Library, no. 1449).

Houston writes about the possiblity of an interview with BR by P. Renyi of Nepszabadsag.

"It is very important for me to have a set of tapes of Bertie's anecdotes and epigrams now being copied. It would also be of great help if I could have a transcript of these as well."

BR answers Thompson's questions.

Dictated reply at the top of the letter: "Answered by telephone 6 Feb. Mr Webb agrees to let R see article before publication and will come to Plas Penrhyn Feb 10 at 11."
