Item 276 - Letter from Henry Sidgwick to F. W. H. Myers

Refers to a matter that they had discussed previously, and expresses his regret 'at the bubble bursting.' In relation to Slade, suggests that if Myers still feels confidence in him he had better subscribe 'to the defence fund'; he and Nora cannot, as although they believe that the sentence was contrary to the principles of justice, their 'private conviction that [Slade] sometimes cheats is so strong' that they cannot bring themselves to abandon their attitude of neutrality. Invites Myers to dine with them on 16 November.
