Asks Sidgwick to consider presiding over the Apostles Society annual dinner in 1900. Mentions previous men who have presided over the event, for example, T. T[aylor] in 1871, and Lord Houghton in 1880. Remarks that Sidgwick 'last presided in 1875.' Claims that it would give great pleasure to the society if he [Holland] could announce Sidgwick's participation 'on the 14th', and mentions the possibility of a second dinner for 1900. Claims that 'it would be good for the Society to hear an address from [Sidgwick].' States that [Ailsa] and he, 'or others, in London could do all the arrangements for [Sidgwick] next year.' Asks Sidgwick to let him know in a few days.
