On a visit to the Russells, and on BR's Manchester speech.

A reply from BR in C. Farley's hand is drafted at the top.

A covering note for a donation of £2.

Purcell evaluates BR's Chinese wall painting, which was presented to BR by Liang Qichao (Liang Ch'i-ch'ao, 梁啟超), famous reformer and associate of K'ang Yu-wei. The painter was Yu T'eng.

(This may be the wall hanging presented to the Russell Archives by Christopher Farley in 2014; it awaits indentification.)

Purcell sends a draft of his pamphlet on Southeast Asia and thanks BR for a telephone message re a meeting.

A long note on a wartime meeting with Branislav Petronievics.

Phelps asks to see BR and meet Edith Russell. The Mafia have protected Phelps.

BR provides a note on "Lion" Phillimore and her husband, Robert.

Lion has recovered the sofa and chair she got from BR at Cambridge—they had candle grease on them. She is impressed by BR separating from Alys and wintering in Paris.

Lion has not had time "to carry out my part of your programme".

She refers to Graham Wallas, Sidney Webb, and bi-metallism.

Lion sees that BR has returned from China. Bobby [Robert Phillimore] has died, and she is making bricks. Alys was very good to her. Lion sees that BR is to write for The Nation.

Now Lion has heard of BR's marriage and the birth of his son.

Lion describes her cure in Switzerland and invites the Russells to stay with her in Ireland.

Lion will try to inform Alys about something to do with BR (see document .054375, record 079341).

Lion hopes BR can write his book on philosophy rather than pot-boilers.

Lion is glad her (old) letters are interesting. "I've so far only found the ones I enclose of yours."

Her decision to marry Bobby was somehow influenced by BR.

Lion is sorry that, apparently, she seemed to say that she hated the English.

BR analyzes the pros and cons of Lion marrying Robert Charles Phillimore (1871-1919).

BR transcribed the letter in 1949 (see record 56055) because the original "was falling to bits".

The year is conjectured. BR will not be joining the Contemporary Art Society, as he cannot afford to buy.

BR asks what part Lion took in the dock strike.

"I should love your place in a gale I believe. It must have great beauty."

The date is conjectured from an invitation to visit.

"Sorry about senile decay—I have suffered from it for some years."

BR cannot visit Lion September 28-30, as he is going to the Whiteheads then.

BR does not want to lose old friendships. He did not hear of Bobby's death at the time.

"It did not enter my head that you were being conventional."

BR, being "buried in the country", cannot meet Lion until September.

"... at present my Sundays are occupied lecturing at Leicester; then they will be occupied with Nottingham and Newcastle."

BR knew County Wicklow in Ireland well 40 years ago, including Parnell's estate.

BR is too occupied to visit Lion. Dora is in Russia.

BR will pass the parcel of books "to other poor when I have read them." He would sell Telegraph House for £6000. It has to yield £400 a year for Molly and be in a trust.

The prospective buyer of Telegraph House "keeps raising new points of detail on the telephone".

BR had gastric flu recently. He would like Lion to "say some little word of a friendly sort from me" to Alys, because of what Mary Berenson might say.

BR has been very busy speaking up and down the country. He explains his financial obligation to Molly Russell. Telegraph House is now sold, and they are looking for a place in Wales. He will get capital of £6,500 when Molly dies. Apparently Lion has offered something.

BR tells Lion about "your youngest beneficiary", Conrad, born April 15.

BR expects to go to Chicago in the autumn. Any additional money should be given to Peter, not BR.

BR will bring John and Kate to Ireland on July 26 for a fortnight.

BR and the children enjoyed their visit with Lion. He has been very busy house-hunting.

Re Sidney Webb's stroke: "I don't know if there is any tactful way in which you can convey my sympathy."

BR declines a holiday for the children with Lion this year, because they are going to America in September.

Farley provides information on Lion and Bobby Phillimore, very likely from BR's conversation.

This is vol. 6, no. 2, of the journal of the Philosophical Society of England.

BR states why he disagrees with the "aims and principles" of the Society.

BR declines to reconsider his resignation.

Piccoli argues against BR's view that the book on Italy will promote murder.

Dated from the reference to Ogden saying that BR is replying to Gilbert Murray.

Piccoli will see if he has any other of BR's copies of Conrad's books.

Piccoli asks BR to contribute to Pro Italia, a book on Italy. [BR did not, but D.H. Lawrence did.]

Pigott thanks BR for having Allen and Unwin send him Alan Wood's biography of BR.
