Parte 22/1-2 - Letter from Henry Sidgwick to A.J. Patterson

1 letter, with envelope.

Apologises for the delay in replying to Patterson's previous letter. Refers to the problem in English grammar that Patterson put to him, and admits that he is 'very ignorant of the subject', as it was never included in his school studies. Promises to try to get information for him if he finds anyone learned in it. In relation to a question asked in Patterson's last letter, tries to explain the difference between two grammatical tenses. Refers to another question posed in relation to the comparison of adjectives. Hopes that he is in better spirits than when he wrote his penultimate letter. Declares that he is very anxious to go to Pest, but regrets that he doesn't think he will get there that year.
