Scope and content
Writes from London, where he is 'engaged in assisting in a collection of Ghost stories and similar matters...' Has been given Edward's name as the secondary authority for a story, which he encloses [not included]. Wishes her to find out whether that version is what was told to Edward, and also the name and address of Edward's informant. Asks after her family. Supposes that Edward is in London from time to time, and asks her to tell him that Henry shall be there 'off and on during July.'
States that Nora is to be at Newnham College for the Long Vacation, and that Miss Gladstone is to 'become responsible' [for the college] in October. Asks her where and when she intends to go on holiday. Announces that he and are going to have two or three weeks' holidays in September, which they intend to spend partly in Yorkshire, and partly, possibly, in Ireland, visiting the Chief Secretary [G. O. Trevelyan]. States that he has never been 'to that unhappy country, and [is] curious to see how it feels when one is there!'
Hopes that his book [Principles of Political Economy] will be out in October. Announces that he does not give up his Praelectorship until Christmas, and therefore shall be in Cambridge the following term, but not at his house. They hope to spend a spring in Italy, and come back to their home in April for the May term. Sends his and Nora's love to all the family.
