Unidad documental simple 67/1 - Letter from Frank Podmore to Nora Sidgwick

1 doc

Wishes that he could more adequately have expressed in his last letter 'something of the affection and reverence [he has] always felt' for Henry Sidgwick. Refers to the keen interest he took in all things, and his wonderful humour. Remarks that his writings 'had comparatively little of that charm [of] humour and felicitous phrasing which made his conversation so fascinating.' Refers to his 'clear, unbiased vision'. Declares that his memory will not soon pass away, and that apart from the work he has done, Henry will live as a noble memory with all who knew him, among whom Podmore numbers himself and his wife. Encloses a letter [67/2], which he wrote to the Daily Chronicle. States that there was no time to contact [F.W.H.] Myers, and that he was reluctant to disturb Nora, so he has written it on his own responsibility. Refers to a reference she made to an article on telepathy.
