Fragment of/incomplete letter. Refers to Nora Sidgwick's loss [of her husband], which happened about a year after Mrs Courtauld had a similar bereavement, and claims that she had wished to write at the time, but could not. States that he dares not 'be so ungrateful as to seem sad' as she has so much happiness and employment in her life, but claims to know how Nora feels. Compares the loss to 'trying to float and guide a ship in an entirely new medium.' Is glad that Nora is 'going on.' Reveals that she only saw Henry Sidgwick twice, but claims that that was often enough 'to know the truth of what others said of him', and refers to him as 'just and right and wise'. Claims that she will never lose the remembrance of being with him.
