Apologises for having taken so long in answering Nora's inquiry about the Cambridge Working Men's College. States that he found out through Canon [Charles?] Gray, 'who was then in residence in Trinity and succeeded Archdeacon Vesey as secretary of the College' that Henry Sidgwick was elected in October 1860, and so deduces that the letter from which Nora quotes was written at the time Henry's work began at the College. Adds that Gray promises to see if he can find anything else, and to send any relevant material to Cambridge to be put into the Free Library. States that he has found three of Henry's letters on matters other that the Cambridge Working Men's College - two written to his [Bowes'] uncle Alexander Macmillan, and one to Professor M[ ], the editor of Macmillan's Magazine - and encloses them [not included].
