Portée et contenu

Encloses a postal order [not included], admitting that he forgot to repay him. Asks him to inform him how the interview [Myers adds: 'with Miss Drew'] concludes. Liked what Myers recited 'just before parting'; [Myers notes that this was from his own 'piece called The Passing of Youth ']. Believes that Myers receives letters from Sidgwick 'with a certain dread.' States that he seems to himself 'like some statesman Macaulay speaks of whom neither etc nor etc nor etc (say study of Hegel and Vice-Presidency of F[ree] C[hristian] U[nion]) had altered from the dreaming schoolboy that he was at 16'. Writes in verse, beginning with the lines 'What am I An infant crying for the moon...', which, he claims is inspired by Tennyson. Claims that one advantage of being a philosopher by profession is that 'one has very drastic remedies for egotism very ready to hand'.
