Scope and content

Thanks Nora for her letter. Saw Henry Sidgwick so often that they 'had no occasion for correspondence.' Recalls that in the early days of Mind they did exchange some letters 'on points of ethics', but remarks that 'anything he then said in private must have been superseded long since by his books.' Refers to an enclosed obituary of Henry which he wrote for the Pilot [included: 78/2]; hopes that it may be acceptable to Nora. Showed the proof to [F.W.] Maitland 'to make sure of being right about the facts of the women's degrees affair....' Explains that the 'slightly incongruous appearance of the article in an organ of militant High Anglicanism is due to [his] being an old friend of Lath[ ]'s' and Pollock's being anxious to do him any good he can 'short of joining the E.C.U'.

Printed obituary [78/2] by Pollock, entitled 'Henry Sidgwick', extracted from the Pilot of 15 September 1900.
