Stuk 191 - Letter from Henry Sidgwick to F. W. H. Myers

1 doc

States that the 'Newcastle business' is 'rather complicated.' Sends three items [not included]: 'a copy of the agreement, marking a new clause that was never submitted to [him]', Blake's letter explaining the agreement, and a letter from Bell, the magistrate. Explains that the day he parted from Myers a letter arrived from Bell, asking him to defer signing the agreement until he had seen him in town, but that it was too late to see him and so he telegraphed to him to write, and Bell sent 'the enclosed'. Gurney and Sidgwick have decided to defer the final settlement until they go to Newcastle again, 'but meanwhile make a provisional arrangement for February, sending a cheque for the month.' States that he has secured the mediums for three dates. Asks Myers to send him his views on the matter. Does not think they can possibly accept the new clause.
