Russell: The Journal of Bertrand Russell Archives

Bibliographies/archival inventories Recent acquisitions: correspondence by Carl Spadoni THE FOLLOWING IS an alphabetical inventory of correspondence obtained from sources outside the Bertrand Russell Estate. The list is the first one since Russell, no. 13 (spring 1974), and is inclusive of acquisitions by the. Russell Archives from the summer of 1974 through the spring of 1981. There are 214 entries, covering roughly 4,213 letters and other documents. The letters are listed under the recipient's name when Russell is the sender; otherwise under the sender's name. The list excludes many valuable letters of reminiscence and information written to the Archives from people who knew Russell. Besides basic information such as the names of correspondents, number of letters, inclusive dates, form and provenance, the contents of the letters have been briefly described so that readers can get an idea of the subjects discussed by Russell and his correspondents. In providing subject access, I have aimed at a wide coverage of Russell's interests and activities. In those .cases where no subject description is provided, the letters in question are of little research value, being usually an invitation or a request for an autograph or meeting. The following abbreviations have been used: "BR"-Bertrand Russell , "L." (or "Ls.")-letter(or letters), "P." (or "Ps.")-photocopy (or photocopies), "transcript" (or "transcripts")-transcriptions.
