1 doc

Writes that she began a note to Sidgwick at Brock Hill, but didn't finish it, and now Blanche and Frank [Cornish] tell her that what she wants is an impossible thing. Writes to him anyway asking him to write her 'a very short little letter with just any little charming idea which might occur to [him] about [their] poor old Willy, who does not half believe in his own powers and who wants a [little] bit of brain every now and then as a tonic.' Invites Sidgwick to come and dine with them on Monday 16th in Freshwater. Announces that she is going to Paris on 17, and the dinner is a farewell to her native land and her 'dear Ritchiedom'.
