Stuk 134 - Letter from Harriet S. Miller to Henry Sidgwick

Declares that she has only kept a few of Mrs [Ranke's] letters. Refers to the latter's meeting of, and her marriage to, her husband, and of how she looked down on 'her fellow Hausfrau', who she claimed did not appreciate 'K[eble's] Christian G[ ].' Reports that the latter was not at that time universally appreciated in England, and that it was called by Professor [Blanc] 'The Sunday Puzzle'. With reference to middle class German women, refers to an enclosed letter [not included] 'from the daughter of a distinguished [ ]', which illustrates her meaning. Refers to some of Margaret Klopstock's letters, which she was looking over the evening before, and observes that they are exactly how Mrs [Ranke] would have written them. Mentions that she once visited 'his' grave, on which the epitaph described him as 'Germany's greatest poets'. This description she declares to be 'a [big] fib'. Sends her regards to Mrs Sidgwick. Expresses her confusion regarding how to address Sidgwick, i.e., with 'Professor' or with 'Dr.'
