Scope and content

Hopes to see Myers on Tuesday afternoon, when Sidgwick undertakes to return his letter to him. Referring to Myers' 'experience', declares that 'the coincidence of the name and the [ ] is certainly remarkable.' Does not agree with him, however, that the name is an unusual one for a refined person. Remarks that 'one would be glad of more evidence if it could in any way be obtained: [viz.] either a fuller communication or some indirect evidence of supernormal powers.' Announces that they have settled 'about the Council'; that Hartley is to be proposed for election at the meeting, and Sidgwick is to propose B[ ]worth for cooptation.
