1945-1972 (bulk 1948-1960)

https://norman.hrc.utexas.edu/fasearch/findingAid.cfm?eadid=00115

The collection comprises three folders of letters to Russell from writers, literary critics, artists, actors, statesmen, and other prominent persons in England. Although most of the letters pertain to Russell's tenure at the Sunday Times, some are more personal in tone, and a few are addressed to both Russell and his wife.
