Explains that he had hesitated to write to him before because he did not know whether he would mind being disturbed, but Myers told him that he may do so. Informs him that he and his wife have been thinking about Sidgwick and his wife much during the last few weeks. Refers to the London Psychical Congress, which both couples attended, and at which Sidgwick come to sit down beside the Podmores at lunch. Expresses the admiration and affection he feels towards Sidgwick. Declares that he doesn't very much care 'whether or not there is a personal individual immortality', but that he is sure that there is a unity and a purpose in the cosmos; that the lives and conscious force of individuals persist in some form after death. Thanks Sidgwick for reading his books, and for 'the wise counsel' that he has given him.
Wishes that he could more adequately have expressed in his last letter 'something of the affection and reverence [he has] always felt' for Henry Sidgwick. Refers to the keen interest he took in all things, and his wonderful humour. Remarks that his writings 'had comparatively little of that charm [of] humour and felicitous phrasing which made his conversation so fascinating.' Refers to his 'clear, unbiased vision'. Declares that his memory will not soon pass away, and that apart from the work he has done, Henry will live as a noble memory with all who knew him, among whom Podmore numbers himself and his wife. Encloses a letter [67/2], which he wrote to the Daily Chronicle. States that there was no time to contact [F.W.H.] Myers, and that he was reluctant to disturb Nora, so he has written it on his own responsibility. Refers to a reference she made to an article on telepathy.
