Stuk 19 - Letter from Blanche Warre Cornish to Nora Sidgwick

1 doc

Refers to Nora's letter of two days previously, which was of intense interest to her. Says she has been absorbed by Henry Sidgwick: a Memoir, and suggests that in addition to the biography and letters, people who knew Henry could each write down an account of a memorable conversation with him. States that she is 'rather anxious, also busy' at present, but undertakes to try 'to join some memories with [her] sisters' [memories.' Expresses the hope that she and Nora may meet; says that if her husband could stay with Nora she would 'make out a promised visit to a friend at Cambridge'. Says that questions about [the living's] connection with the dead, in their moral aspects as viewed by Henry, have pressed on her lately. Thinks that she and her husband will come to Nora in May, and hopes that it will not be any inconvenience to her to receive her husband; say she is to go to the Donaldsons at Magdalene. Thanks her for the gift of the book.
