Scope and content
Asks Sidgwick to read an enclosed paper [not included], and give his opinions on it. Speaks of the difficulties that lie ahead; 'every politician...bidding for the favour of the workmen by promising them new social advantages, and turning the extension of the suffrage into a curse instead of a blessing by [sapping] their old habit of doing things for themselves'. Admits that one the suggestions embodied in the paper is one that Sidgwick himself mentioned once in conversation, and hopes that he doesn't mind Herbert having appropriated it. Intends to have 'a private meeting of friends later in the year to consider what could be done', and expresses the desire that Sidgwick could attend.
