New York.

Thanks her for thinking of her and writing to her 'in these times'. Confirms that 'the Durham business' is over, but declares that she cannot help feeling sorry for the Dean for 'the lost chances.' States that she suggested putting out as a feeler a small anonymous prize, 'just to test the possible desire for historical studies at Durham', and says that the Dean likes the idea, but is doubtful. The list of history students [at Newnham?] for the following year looks hopeful; thinks that 'it will be nice if the Alice Hopkinson scholar takes Political Economy.' Was away for the previous Sunday and intends to go to her brother Ernest for the following weekend; will come back [to Cambridge] on the following Monday.

Expresses her sympathy with Nora and Henry; wishes Nora had been able to bring him to Cambridge. Is glad that they both can feel a little comfort in the grateful affection of the many whose lives they have made happier and better. As she looks back over the past she realises more and more what she personally owes to Henry; even before she came up to Cambridge twenty-two years previously, she had heard so much about him from her mother, and had read some of his writings. He set her to work when she came up, 'and listened patiently to [her] crude notions as to how [her] education should be carried on', and helped her throughout her career. Cannot think of her life as it would have been had she never known Nora or Henry. However dear Nora has been to them before, she will be dearer still after Henry's illness. Reports that she see Miss F[reund] 'pretty often', who is of course always thinking about Nora. Adds that the new treatment is exhausting, but may do her good.

7 C. St. & T. - Acknowledges receipt of Whewell's paper. Whewell's 'conception of objective must be subjective, these words make a crabbed question'. De Morgan would like nothing more than 'to give impulse to the making of words - if I were etymologist enough'. He has always liked the phrases 'vitreous and resinous electricity - they express one fact and no theory'. He thinks 'retinal and radial' would do to describe 'the action of rays on the retina, as an easily perceptible instance of an external agent and a produced condition'. If we admit objective 'is it likely that the ordinary antithesis of language should express an antithesis which people in general never think of'. He thinks 'objective and reflective might be made to do - but the idea we want is not that of turned back, but roused by means of, state produced by the suggestion of'.

The Athenaeum, Pall Mall, S.W.1. - Thanks Bob for his 'Xmas gift' ["From the Shiffolds"], which he much enjoys, and thanks him and Bessy even more for their 'kindness to William' [their son] which they 'so much appreciated'.

7 Rue Lincoln VIIIe - Is pleased to hear of the success in Oxford, and that 'Anthologia Anthropologica' is selling well; discusses the displeasing article by van Gennep, reassures her he couldn't affect the reputation of Sir James, and the 'Mercure' is not the first authority in anthropology.

Addressed to Trevelyan at the Friends War Victims Relief Committee, France. - His next chess move. State of the board roughly sketched out.

Muckleneuk, 220 Marriott Road, Durban, S. Africa - Thanks Frazer for the copy of 'Native races of Africa and Madagascar', is specialising on the 'Native Question', hopes to establish a Zulu Chair at Natal University.
