Scope and content

Hs come to the conclusion that his interference 'in [ ] Showers would do more harm than good.' Asks Myers to mention, when he writes, that Sidgwick has 'no doubt...as to the genuineness of her ghosts.' Discusses the carrying out of tests at her house, where he would rather go 'as a Confiding Spiritualist, on the chance of feeling Lenore's ONE TOE'. States that he is 'rather inclined to go in for N[ ] now to see if [they] can get [Cissey]. Announces that he intends to go up to town early on Thursday, and asks Myers if he could lunch at the Savile Club. States that he thinks of 'asking Burns why he wants £100'.
