Claims that he was about to write to Sidgwick in relation to Gardiner's volumes of the Morning Watch. Gives the address to which to send them if he is finished with them. Thinks he may be able to be in London 'about the 5th', and proposes that Sidgwick return with him, and stay as long as he can. Announces that he must go to Bath for a few days, and would do so when Sidgwick goes to Clifton. Declares that his time will be almost entirely his own in London, and he shall be staying with [Samuel?] Gardiner close to [ ] [ ] and Martineau's. Confides in Sidgwick that he has had a very heavy financial loss, which might cause him to give up his visit to London. Hopes that he may not have to change his plans, except by taking on extra pupils, 'and writing a little harder' for the following few months. Claims that unless he can go to London 'cheerfully', he should not be much good as a free Christian. Declares that they must 'try and [ ] Payne on the Pall Mall [Gazette?], which is getting sadly reactionary.' Also informs him that he has 'a very singular spirit, ghost, or dream, story' for Sidgwick when they meet.
