Scope and content
Writes to express his sympathy with Nora on the death of Henry. Reports that he heard the news as he was crossing from abroad the previous Friday, and that yesterday he spent some time with Arthur [Sidgwick or Balfour?], who told him more. Declares that Henry's death is the loss of something precious and special, and claims that he was 'a true friend, and an example of justice, and strenuousness, and simplicity, and nobleness.' Prays that God may give her rest and comfort now, and the strength to help her to on. Hopes that they shall meet some day before long.
