Thanks Nora for her copy of Henry Sidgwick: A Memoir, which she read 'with the deepest interest'. Remarks that it seems 'almost breathlessly simple in the way it is told.' Refers to the rareness of Henry's personality and character, and to the 'delicious remark' he made about biographies. Also refers to 'that remark George Elliot made about him', which always seemed to Kate and Edmund [Gurney, her first husband] 'so extraordinarily to express him as he was'. It pains her to think of all Nora suffered during Henry's illness, and that she [Grove] knew nothing of her suffering at the time.
