TLS, one page, 8 x 10, Plas Penrhyn, Penrhyndeudraeth, Merioneth letterhead, July 17, 1962. Letter to Mr. Alan R. Lichter, headed at the top in type, “From: The Earl Russell,” and reading in part: “In answer to your question as to the value of active affiliation with an organised religion in the development of the individual, I should say that I consider such affiliation to have a purely negative influence. I would extend this opinion of religion to cover its influence in any age and in any society. While I appreciate the emotional stress to which many people are subjected in their attempt to gain some understanding of the universe, I feel that the dogmas of religion can do no more than provide facile answers to questions deserving of a more intelligent approach.” In fine condition, with intersecting mailing folds, one passing through a single letter of signature, and scattered light creasing. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope.
