1 Marloes Road, Kensington, W. Dated May 9 - Suggests Miss Kingsley for something in Frazer's 'totem line'; dropped Max [Müller's?] Icelandic and wrote a new introduction for an unidentified work.
Quoting a letter from Leslie Stephen to K.S. States that he would like her to say that he has nearly finished his article [on Henry Sidgwick, for Mind; cf 103/111], which, because of its brevity, is inadequate. Believes that if there is 'a fair supply of letters, a singularly interesting life might be written.' Does not know whether Nora Sidgwick would undertake it herself.
Asks her to ask Mr Horton what is the exact nature of information he requires, since he cannot ask [George Granville?] Bradley for information generally 'when he has given in the printed paper what [HS supposes] he thinks enough.' Suggests that Arthur could ask 'a [United] Usher.' Comments that the poem Lady Grace by Miss Smedley 'though not great is good reading.'
Thanks for a joyful and superb weekend, some little time before.
