Letter from Foxwell (141/1) refers to the accompanying note from various former pupils of Sidgwick, sent to him on the occasion of his impending marriage. Explains that the presents referred to are a silver tea service and a bronze library table service, which Foxwell hopes have been already received in London by Sidgwick. Hopes that they may remind Sidgwick 'that [his] invaluable and self-denying labours for philosophy at Cambridge have not been forgotten by those on whom they were more immediately bestowed.' Sends his best wishes for Sidgwick and his wife's happiness.
