Scope and content

Tells him not to worry about lodgings, as Sidgwick is 'after all a Philosopher': expresses his preference to sleep over his desire to save money. States that he 'will not fail on Wednesday at 2.30.' Reports that [Charles Kegan] Paul wishes him to dine at the Savile Club to meet a friend of his called O[ ], who is a barrister and would like to join in in their spiritualistic investigations. Thinks that Myers ought to come along 'in the interests of the Cause'. Asks for Myers' opinion on the matter, and adds that O[ ] 'is a little odd.' Reports that he met James Hinton in Oxford, who said that he also would like to join. Tells Myers to settle for Sidgwick to dine at 'S.M.T.' if he likes.
