Marseille was the recipient of a letter dated 5 May 1948 in which Bertrand Russell signalled his agreement with a paper on international control of atomic energy that Marseille had sent him. The paper cannot be identified, but Russell's letter, first published by Marseille in The Nation, 16 Oct. 1954, when he disagreed with Russell's changed views on nuclear disarmament, has been of concern to Russell scholars. The letter may be read in R.W. Clark's The Life of Bertrand Russell, pp. 523–4; the latter's Selected Letters, vol. 2, pp. 428-9; Yours Faithfully, Bertrand Russell, pp. 204–5; Collected Papers, vol. 28, p. 72; and it is discussed in Ray Monk's biography, vol. 2, pp. 299–303.
