1 doc

Refers to a letter from Leslie Stephen to himself, of which an extract is included, and about which he had previously spoken to her. Remarks that it 'tells nothing that [she] did not know'. 'Extract from a letter from Leslie Stephen to F. W. Maitland' of 2 September 1900 included, in another hand. Stephen states that he turns to Maitland 'by a natural association' on hearing of Henry Sidgwick's death. Admits that it came as a shock. Claims that he had known Henry for forty years, and that the latter had always been 'most friendly', and that his death seems like 'the snapping of [ ] strongest link with the old Cambridge days.'
