Reports that he is still in Cambridge, 'tolerably well and taking great care of [his] health...' Expects the following term to be difficult. Refers to how he spends his days. Announces that he intends to stay there until the beginning of term, 'to see the last of [his] fellowship'. States that his position in the College 'in respect of rooms etc is still quite undetermined.' Refers to the candidates for fellowship. Announces that he expects 'a mild Hindoo', who is a pupil of Tawney's and a disappointed candidate for the Indian Civil Service, to come and see him on the following Friday. Reports that when he returned to Cambridge he discovered that one of the senior fellows at Trinity was in a lunatic asylum, and asks her to report this news to Arthur. Is pleased by the appointment of Seeley as the new professor of history, as the subject is 'at a very low ebb in Cambridge, and he is just the man to inspire an enthusiasm for it'; also always thought it a 'great loss to us' when Seeley went down. Asks after William.

Requests Sidgwick to give his opinion on a philosophical argument [included].

Gladly accepts Sidgwick's invitation for Wednesday the 13th. Informs him that his dealings with [John?] Austin are 'very delightful' to him, because Sidgwick 'will deprive him of his terror.' Refers to an accompanying extract, which poses questions on the definition of legal rights [included, 108/2]. Discusses a scenario where a father (having means) omits to supply a young child with food to the damage of the child's health, and asks whether the child has a right. Also refers to the Statute of Limitations in relation to creditors and debtors. Concludes by saying that he is 'trying to avoid 'right' as much as possible and to speak always of duty.'

Typewritten extract [108/1]. Begins with a quote from Lord Chief Justice Holt, and asks if the statement is either true or a truism. Three statements are given that involve rights and remedies: the first involves a wealthy father who omits to supply a young child with sufficient food, and as a consequence the child falls ill; the question is asked whether any right has been infringed; the second states that the Statute of Limitations is sometimes said not to take away the creditor's right, but merely bars his remedy; the third quotes the maxim 'There is no right without a remedy', and asks whether it has been applied in English courts.

States that he ought to have answered Sidgwick sooner, and that he had wanted to say 'yes, but...could not say it without consideration and obtaining permission'. Refers to his illness, and claims that he has been much better of late, but knows that real work would upset him again. Has decided not to pledge himself to anything, and advises Sidgwick 'to make definite arrangements with some less untrustworthy person.' Announces that he hopes to come to Cambridge on the Sunday of the following week and shall try to see Sidgwick then.

7 Camden Street & Town - He has found some very queer things about the Aristotelian syllogism - deficiencies and redundancies which he will publish in a treatise of technical logic. He would like 'the mathematical world to see how necessary mathematical considerations are to common logic'. He has a logical paper ready on the 'mode of balancing the joint effect of testimonies and arguments for and against'; diagrees with [Richard] Whately's formulas and shows his own.
