Thanks Myers 'for the pamphlet', whose author Sidgwick wishes to discuss with him. While finding 'no attractive characteristicalness in her ideas, he is struck by 'the amazing quantity of her emotional impulsive force...' States that he is glad that Myers' 'plutological lines have fallen to [him] in pleasant places.' Refers to the questions raised by Myers, to which Sidgwick wishes to give an ethical solution. Adds that he always feels that he should like to be as many of 'the right sort of people' as possible. Reports that the headmaster - 'Stokoe, late of Richmond' - of the renovated grammar school at Reading has just called on him wanting a second master, 'mathematician to teach some science, salary £200-300 a year + a boarding house', and suggests that [Linnaeus?] Cumming might like it. Tells Myers to write to the latter if he thinks it worthwhile.
