Portée et contenu

Refers to a séance, which he attended the previous night. Reports that the two last sittings were nearly failures and that there were 'only faint appearances at the entrance of cabinet.' Mentions two [spirits]: Cissy and Sammy. States that he 'proposed same terms as other media' in relation to Petty, and announces that he is about to sign the agreement. Refers to another sitting that he attended, involving a box [containing horsehairs] being placed in a drawer. Announces that Gurney is to meet 'the girls' that day, and that they go to Mrs [Whitticks], '[on] Hill Street Rutland Gate till Thursday.'

Hopes to meet Myers on Thursday in Queen Anne Street. Reports that [Hensleigh] Wedgwood 'is seriously concerned about [their] proposed seance in Cambridge' and thinks that the Master [of Trinity College: W. H. Thompson] would be supported by public opinion if he were to dismiss Sidgwick. Thanks Myers for Arthur's letter.
