Grasmere, Ambleside - Mrs Forbes has given birth to a little girl. They have been to Malvern 'in search of hill air', and are now in Grasmere: 'I have unquestionably benefitted in my general health by coming here'. JDF's preparations for his proposed dissertation 'make very slow and desultory progress' [JDF has been asked to continue Playfair's and Leslie's dissertations on the progress of science to the present time: See JDF to WW, 6 March 1852]. He fears that the vastness of 'the work will break down under its own magnitude'. If WW is going to the Belfast BAAS meeting, JDF hopes he 'will return this way'.

5 St Mary's Passage - Hamilton "quite unspoilt by Oxford", plans for Easter vacation.

Trinity College, Cambridge. Dated 19th May 1911 - Thanks him for 'Taboo'; [John] Roscoe has had interviews with the secretaries of the Prime Minister and the Lord Chancellor; and one, [Adolphus] Liddell, reports it went well; he had previously written to Kenneth Muir Mackenzie and received a cordial reply.

Did not wish to write to her at once [after the death of Henry Sidgwick], but now as she has returned to England, writes to tell her how deeply he feels his loss. Since Henry first taught him thirty years previously he was a great influence to him both in intellectual matters and 'practical matters of conduct and wisdom, considerateness, unselfishness, and resolute impartiality....' Expresses his gratitude for having had so many opportunities of conversation 'with so noble a character.' Adds how entirely [his wife] Kathleen feels with him, and how deeply she has been sympathising with Nora throughout the period since Henry's death.

Returns letters [written about Henry Sidgwick: A Memoir; not included], and states that they are all very gratifying. Reminds Nora that 'of the pleasure and the praise 601/633 (exactly)' is hers. Remarks that those by 'ACB[enson], GOT, [James?] Ward, [Sir George] Young, and Tennyson were all good to read, and of course Cornish.' Says that he knew about William Sidgwick of Skipton having given evidence before the Faculty Committee [see 103/94], but that it was outside his drama. Has some duplicates of hers and a few more, and undertakes to send them to her when they reach 'a batch'. Note added in red ink saying that for real criticism they must wait for 'the unbribed Reviewer', but that 'it is a great thing to please the old friends'.
