"I shall be very happy if you can print the enclosed a propos of the recent death of my friend Alan Wood." The obituary occupies the enclosed typed carbon, 1 sheet.

"His industry was amazing and, when it was concerned with myself, I often thought the subject not worth the pains he took."

Yavden-Trebull asks a scientific question, hoping to hear from BR.

Colette wrote this letter in Paris; she mailed it to Russell in Shanghai; from there it was forwarded to Japan, and then on to Overstrand Mansions, London.

98387

Colette has written "Copy" at the top of this letter. On the verso she has written "Letter to Montreal".

In her letter of 29 August 1921, she writes that the enclosed letter which she sent to Montreal never reached him (document .052475, record 98390). This must be the letter she is referring to.

98388

This telegram was sent to Russell on the steamship "Metagama" to welcome him home.

98389
98390

At the end of this letter Colette notes that she is enclosing a letter which she sent to Montreal. That letter is document .052472, record 98387.

98391
98392

The letter is addressed to Russell at his Battersea flat, meaning it had to be written no earlier than February 1919. It may have been written as late as August 1921. There are three letters from Colette, document .052474, record 98389; document .052475, record 98390; document .052476, record 98391, all written from the Ship Inn, all in her more familiar hand, all in late August 1921. This letter does not fit easily into that sequence. There is, however, a reference to the passing of a year: "Much life has passed by me in this year."

There is a reference to Clacton, where Russell and Colette were in July 1920.

There was even doubt that this letter was from Colette; her name appears in pencil on the envelope followed by a question mark.

Tylor informs BR that he has proposed to Dora's lawyer "... that the children should spend with Dora and John a fortnight in the summer and ten days during each of the holidays with the proviso that each of the children, on reaching the age of sixteen, should be free to choose with whom to spend her holidays." Dora's lawyer has agreed with this proposal.

This letter has a textual overlap with her typed letter, document .104579ms, record 113235, which has a date of 22 October 1928. The similar text concerns the difficulty of their meeting in the future. Both letters were written from Southern Rhodesia.

The enclosure, "Sir Frank Benson's Farewell Tour", has dates from 21 October 1929 to 26 May 1930.

In the letter Colette mentions a possible pupil for Beacon Hill School, Jennifer Lannon, the daughter to Violet Lannon who had toured with Colette in the past.
