| 7201 | Morris asks if BR would like to have D.F. Rozdon's My Musings, and to make comments on it. |
| 7202 | Re errors in the Spanish edition of Bertrand Russell—Philosopher of the Century. "1)The following pages in the Spanish edition are blank: 194 and 195, 198 and 199, 202 and 203, 206 and 207; and we would be grateful if you could ascertain whether or not these defects occur throughout this edition. 2) In both the Unwin and the Spanish edition the name of W.V. Quine is missing from the cover and Werner Bloch, the philosopher, is described in the biographical notes as a surgeon. Would you kindly ensure that steps are taken to correct these errors." |

| 7219 | Re Bertrand Russell Philosopher of the Century. "The pages you mention are not blank in the copy of the Spanish edition which we have on our files so I can only assume that you received a defective copy. As you know, the biography of Dr. Werner Bloch has already been corrected ... We are also reminding them that the name of W.V. Quine should appear on the cover." |
