Reports that the Hamilton family 'have considered more fully the [ ] of publishing Miss Hamilton' translation of part of Lotze's 'Mikrokosmos', and of getting the remainder done by another hand'. Mentions that the family would be satisfied with Sidgwick's recommendation of a translator. Miss Hamilton's manuscript is in the hands of Mr Clarke [sic: Thomas Clark?], a well-known Edinburgh publisher, and Fraser suggests that Sidgwick should communicate with him, and supplies his address.
Explains that on his return from camping in the mountains he heard of the death of Henry Sidgwick. Claims that it is a great shock to him, as he believed that he had been making good progress when Baldwin had left the country. Extends his most heartfelt sympathy, in which his wife joins him, to Nora.
Claims to mourn also for the subject of philosophy, which 'loses a brilliant representative' from whom much more was wished and expected. Hopes that there are manuscripts that Nora intends to publish, and refers to the book on metaphysics which Henry was working on. Says that he has always encouraged his students to study the Methods of Ethics, associating it with [Lotze's] Metaphysics. Claims that he will always remember with satisfaction the help that the book gave him years before 'in coming to a more mature sense of the meaning and value of the judicial attitude in philosophy...'
