Scope and content

Thanks him for his book, which arrived a few days previously. Refers to Sidgwick's paper on "Clerical Veracity", which she found 'enthralling'. Observes that he writes very cautiously, but concedes that 'the times are not ripe for plain speaking.' Declares she must 'wait till "[ ] the Veil"', but wishes 'something definite could be settled for [their] children.' Quotes Dr Johnson's Hermit. Is unclear as to whether Sidgwick intended to buy [ ] M[ ]'s autobiography, and offers him her copy. States that he strikes her as '"Cocky"'.
