Stuk 66 - Letter from George Phear to Nora Sidgwick

1 doc

Writes to express his sympathy with Nora on the death of Henry Sidgwick. Refers to Nora's earlier letter, which first gave him reason to fear 'what has so quickly come.' Claims that her loss 'is exceptional to all who knew him; to all Cambridge', and that [Cambridge] University has lost from its midst a man of 'rare qualities and beautiful character'. States that Henry's death 'breaks associations which have been of first value to' him throughout his active and personal life. Hopes that one day Nora may be able to let him see her when he calls before leaving Cambridge for the winter.
