Scope and content

Writes to express her sympathy with Nora on the death of Henry Sidgwick. Claims that she did not know of Henry's illness until quite recently, but fears that what Fanny [Henry's sister] tells her that he 'must have suffered much'. Assures her that he will be greatly missed, and refers to 'the beautiful useful good life he lived'. Declares that he was her husband [Roden Noel]'s earliest and best friend, and was his best man at their wedding. Recalls with fondness his many visits during her early married life, and is glad to think that he and Roden have met again. Prays that God may help Nora to bear the loss.
