Item 262 - Letter from Henry Sidgwick to F. W. H. Myers

Encloses Rayleigh's letter [not included]. Wishes that the latter had asked him to bring Myers to Terling, and suggests that he may yet do so. Claims that Mrs Jencken 'seems about the best medium out, and to have her rapping away in the private house of a senior wrangler using all the resources of his laboratory is too tempting a prospect.' Proposes to ask Rayleigh to arrange for some séances with Mrs Jencken in London, to which Myers could bring [John Couch?] Adams. Asks Myers if he could alter the time of his inspectorial visit, in case Rayleigh wishes to confine his invitation to Sidgwick. Reports that their 'anxiety still goes on: but the doctors seem to have good hopes.'
