Scope and content

Paris. - Thanks Elizabeth for her letter, which was forwarded to him; the Russells are on the first stage of their time abroad and their plans are uncertain. She is welcome to use his story of 'Destroy my library? Never!' [at the ceremony for the donation of R. C. Trevelyan's library to Birkbeck College, London; see 5/255 for the story]. Is glad she has got E. M. Forster to speak, and thinks he will do it very well.
