Item 58 - Letter from Emma Miller to Nora Sidgwick

1 doc

Writes on the death of Henry Sidgwick to express her sympathy and that of her mother with Nora on her loss. Speculates as to great a loss it must be to her, considering how keenly it is felt by themselves, who had met him so rarely. Claims that there is no one whom she reverenced so much or whose words had so much influence upon her. Considers it a privilege to have been associated with him, however remotely, 'and in however humble a work as the C.O.S.' Claims that there is no one left who approaches him in social charm, and that their last light from Cambridge society is gone.
