1 doc

Reports that he has 'just talked the Brighton arrangements over with [George Albert?] Smith and he is inclined to guarantee that Mrs Smith will not be inconvenienced by [being] there and will not break off a year's residence there.' Smith believes that 'they can live cheaply there without any servant beyond an occasional help [when visitors come] who will not cost nearly as much as the 40 a year in Podmore's estimate', and is anxious to have the season ticket because he will often want to be with Podmore 'and wants to do as much as he can to work up hypnotic subjects in London as well as Brighton.' Smith agrees that it is impossible to conceal 'the haunted house gossip' from his wife. Explains that he has told Smith to call at 4 Carlton Gardens the following day. Has told him to make an estimate of his probable expenses for the next year if he did not go to Brighton. Explains Smith's intended living arrangements. States that he will turn up the following morning at 11am if he hears nothing from Sidgwick. Has not asked Podmore to come, as he believes 'it may be settled without him.'
