Ward asks important questions about BR's anti-war activities, e.g., his interviews with Lloyd George and Asquith.

Ward begs BR to review in the next 2 or 3 weeks her enclosed pamphlet (not present) on free trade, published by Brimley Johnson and critical of A.J. Balfour.

Ward refers to BR's willingness to get a review of her pamphlet into the Westminster Gazette. She hankers after the Spectator as well. [It is not certain that BR would be the reviewer.]

She is sorry that BR will not write a preface to a book that recommends a religious approach to cruelty. She assumes she may quote his sentence saying that the book is valuable.

Warren posted first "what is really a p.s. to this letter"— pp. 3-5.

The year is provided in Edith Russell's hand.

On suffering, with reference to war.

The letter is dated by the query whether Hollond is alive. Russell responded in the affirmative in his letter of 18 Oct. 1915 (in Rec. Acq. 1628, record 120184).

Webster wants encouragement from BR to emigrate to the U.K.

A brief note on Josiah Wedgwood.

Warren has heard from Elizabeth Perkins of BR's work for the Union of Democratic Control.

The reference to Belgian neutrality suggests the year, which is lacking from the date.

Wedgwood sympathizes with BR over the War Office order prohibiting him from certain areas of the U.K.

Warren has ordered The New York Times to be sent to BR for 3 months.

Wedgwood believes it would be useless for him to intervene in the prosecution of Gertrude Beasley. [This letter is re-dated from the apparent 1939 because of the Beasley reference.]

Wedgwood wants to see BR once more "now we are both on the shelf after such similar lives and thoughts for 50 years".

She has re-read "The Free Man's Worship".

The letter is full of information about family and old friends.

Re "On Denoting", which has "a special value" for Welby.

BR has written "H.G. Wells" on a scrap.

Wells might after all write something for Levine. He asks BR to tell him what to do.

Wells will motor down to see Beacon Hill School in June or later.

Wells likes Sceptical Essays and has it in mind to write to a rich American re the school.

Wells has been told that BR is "offended with me". He invites BR to dinner. He has a new encyclopaedia project.

Wells is delighted to get BR's friendly letter and suggests a meeting. He is becoming more anarchistic and ultra left as he gets older.

BR provides a note on Arthur Graeme West.

BR writes: "Graeme West was killed not long after writing this letter".

West praises Principles of Social Reconstruction and asserts that the spirit of some soldiers will not be damaged by the war.

A note in Edith Russell's hand before letters from Dorothy Mackenzie: "Graeme West's fiancée".

Mackenzie comments on the Brotherhood Church incident.

She has made a new friend at the Fabian summer school.

Mackenzie addresses BR as "Uncle Shakespeare", describes her political work for the C.O.I.B., and invites BR over.

BR is ill. "Your energy and capacity for work would have annoyed any trade union to the point of murdering you, if you happened to be the member of one."

The year of this undated letter is surely the first half of 1918 or 1917. BR was still going to committees, thus it was written before he went to prison.

The enclosed poem has a drawing of a lady, nicely painted and executed. The letter has a drawing of Mackenzie dancing.
