Item 199 - Letter from Henry Sidgwick to F. W. H. Myers

Reports that he finds his letter 'profoundly interesting', and adds 'Poor Child!' in relation to its contents.

Is unable to go and see her on Tuesday as he cannot leave Cambridge till the 4.30 train. Announces that on Tuesday 'this Nightmare of a Printing Press will be off [his] breast', but that he shall still be busier than usual in various ways. Expresses a desire to see Myers. States that he is thinking of being in town 'on Sunday the 27th'. Adds that he would be very glad to go to Cheltenham at Christmas, 'unless Sp[ ] should seem to indicate very clearly a [ ] of duty elsewhere: [which] is impossible.'
