Scope and content

Thanks Myers for both his letters and enclosures, especially the last from [Alfred] Lyall, which he returns [not included]. Announces that he thinks he shall try to write [his] reminiscences when he gets back a little intellectual energy. Remarks that the advantage of such a work is that it may legitimately be fragmentary. States that he is encouraged by what L[yall] says of any contribution to Tennyson [Lyall's book in the English Men of Letters series]. Reports that he has been 'going on with "ups and downs" ', and has not progressed very much since Myers' visit. Believes, however, that he has more energy on his good days. Declares that he is glad to hear what Myers says about [Richard?] Hodgson, and that he is looking forward to seeing the latter. Reports that his brother Arthur has been to visit him.
