A cheque from The New York Times for BR's article "The Case for Neutralism".

Handelman signs for the New York Times "International Air Edition". He returns a subscription cheque signed "Russell" because there is a discrepancy in the stated amount. For the cheque, see 11564.

Re Blyth's paper on the logic of verbs. "I enjoyed your examples of faulty sentences such as 'She departed in tears in a taxi'. Verbs present problems which have interested me for a very long time, beginning with a chapter in the Principles of Mathematics called 'Proper Names, Adjectives and Verbs' which now seems to me very naive. I think my chief difference from your outlook is that I do not consider a process as a unity but, like the notes of a tune, a series of separate occurrences."

Norton enclosed this typed copy with his letter of 9 Dec. 1938 to BR (record 85206). He identifies "Helen" as "a Phelps Stokes".

The letter concerns possible financial interests by Neville Chamberlain in mining in Spain.

"We are glad to tell you that the Spanish edition of Bertrand Russell: Philosopher of the Century has now been published and five complimentary copies are being sent to you under separate cover."

BR sent her letter to the Bertrand Russell Peace Foundation. "I am entirely in favour of doing all we can in the case that you write about. I have already tried to bring to public notice various cases of ex-Nazis in positions of authority and I feel very strongly about the quite insufficient repudiation of Nazidom in Western Germany."

This letter is enclosed with Tomlinson's letter to BR (see record 85276).

Astor sends photos of BR for Edith's "personal enjoyment".

"Could you advise me on the situation with respect to the memoir of Bertrand Russell on family, friends, etc. We are very interested in proceeding with American publication and I should like to know the availability of this at the earliest possible moment."

Kirwan hopes BR agrees to a meeting with György Makai, a journalist for Ország Világ.

Feinberg is "puzzled" by Schoenman's letter of March 13th (see record 6886). "The only material which could possibly fit your description is ... under very strict embargo."

BR can meet with György Makai, a journalist for Ország Világ.

"What is the duration of the embargo?"

A handwritten reply at the bottom says: "The embargo is to be in force while the women written about are still alive especially Dora and Peter both of whom, as you know, are still ... youthful."
