Item 76 - Letter from Henry Sidgwick to his mother

Reports that he has been very busy with the Moral Science examination; says it 'absorbs one's whole mind', as he 'takes such an interest in the subject' and is 'so anxious to do thorough justice to the men'. Intends to go to Oxford on the following Tuesday for a day, but will stay with a friend, V[ernon] Harcourt, rather than with William. Proposes to bring William back to Cambridge with him for a day or two. Intends to go to Wellington College sometime. Announces that his uncle Robert has asked him to the Raikes, but that he fears that he shall have to decline at present, as he is so busy. Encloses 'a line' [99/77] to his mother about Mrs Clough [see 101/172/1-2] and one to Arthur, which he omitted to send before.
