Item 187 - Letter from Henry Sidgwick to F. W. H. Myers

1 doc

Has decided not to go to Newcastle, mainly because he does not want to cut himself off from Terling [home of Lord Rayleigh] 'till the last moment, having made the arrangement.' Arranges to go to Myers at Hallsteads [home of Annie and Walter Marshall] 'on Monday 17th', unless he hears from Terling first. Asks Myers to explain Sidgwick's behaviour to his [Myers'] mother and uncle. Tells him to write to the enclosed address [not included] if he is disposed to go to Newcastle alone. States that Mrs Burns does not know the names of the mediums, but says that she believes that they are private. Also sends a [piece] of last [Medium] [not included] that may interest Myers.
