Henry wishes her to write to Mary about the arrangements for the wedding. Discusses arrangements for guests to arrive at 4 Carlton Gardens after the wedding service. Explains that they [the Balfours] have two carriages: one will take her and Henry back to the house and the other will take her sister [Alice?]; they could then send one back to the church to collect Mary. She and Henry intend to leave 'by a 2.5 train from Victoria.' They are going up to Carlton Gardens on Friday or Saturday. It is very inconvenient not to be able to get into the house: it makes arrangements so much more difficult. They went to Cambridge the previous day to see a house, which they are thinking of taking 'at Midsummer', and thought it looked comfortable, but it is not quite finished yet.
Sidgwick, Eleanor Mildred (1845-1936), college headHas mentioned to Nora's sister Alice that he had 'once or twice got letters from [Henry]', which might be of interest to her; one of them related to some difficulties he had raised about women's degrees at Cambridge. Regrets to say that he has not been able to find them, and fears that they may have been mislaid or have perished in the course of various clearances of his house. Undertakes to send them to Nora if he comes across them, and adds that the missing letters only amount to two or three. Remarks that it must be 'a profound satisfaction' to all Henry's friends that Nora has been able to recover so much, and also what a difficult task it must be to arrange the lectures on European politics. Reports that he is 'weathering the winter well', and that they spent 'two delightful Sundays at Whittingehame the previous month. Sends Rose's love.
