Scope and content
States that he would like to alter the testimonial 'in two points', if Myers would send it to him. Hopes that he is 'coming up' [to Cambridge]. Reports that he is 'suffering from much depression of spirits from various causes...' Refers to Myers' statements on philanthropy. Believes that 'what are called the Rights of Conscience are being caricatured to a strange degree', and declares that 'it is a relief to find Huxley avowing that he does not accept "the modern doctrine of intention".' Refers to the Pall Mall Gazette and Saturday Review, stating that 'it is ridiculous for these journals to give themselves airs as if they had argued and the women merely declaimed - the reverse is much more true.' States that his idea of philanthropy is that 'it is a noble profession or career rather than a Virtue.' Would like to know Myers' opinion of Octavia Hill if he ever gets a chance to meet her.
