Stuk 30 - Letter from Henry Sidgwick to his mother

1 doc

Thanks her for sending him Mr Smith's letter. Announces that he will answer his aunt's questions soon, and observes some of some of the passages she has put down are very difficult. Attributes this difficulty to the inconsistency of their interpretation with a belief in the immortality of the soul. Advises that she consult 'some "sound" person.' Reports that he is examining for the University Scholarship. Complains about his failure to apply himself to steady study, claims that he wastes a good deal of time. Reports that William is coming to see him in a fortnight.
