"But if my letters to him survive, I should be grateful if you could get Mrs. Lawrence to send them to me...."
See Frieda Lawrence's letter of 23 April 1947 to agent Lawrence Pollinger in Special Collections, Nottingham University (copy in file). She evidently feels that "Bertie" should be asked if he minds the publication of Lawrence's letters to him.

Dear Captain Moore
I have no objection to the publication of D.H. Lawrence’s letters to me.1 But if my letters to him survive, I should be grateful if you could get Mrs. Lawrence to send them to me — this is the only return I should desire for the permission. Probably, however, they are lost.
Yours sincerely
Bertrand Russell.
