Stuk 96 - Letter from Beth Finlay to Nora Sidgwick

1 doc

Explains that she has hesitated to write to Nora sooner, lest a letter might seem almost an intrusion in the first weeks of Nora's great sorrow, but hopes that she will not mind her now ending a few lines to express her deep sympathy with her. States that all who have benefitted by Henry's 'self-sacrificing efforts in the cause of women's education realize how great a debt of gratitude is due to him', and that those, like herself, who had the privilege of attending his lectures and coming under the influence of his remarkable mind, 'are very conscious of all they owe him.' Trusts that Nora's health has not suffered and that she will still feel equal to go on with her work for the cause she and Henry 'have both been so devoted to.'
