Feeling he has seen Charlotte for the last time, hopes Charlotte will not sacrifice her life for her calling, would like map of Ceylon, has let Deansbiggin: Everton

Thanks him for his letter. Highly appreciates his advice, especially since Sidgwick's recommendation 'coincides exactly with what [he] had already determined on.' Claims that he would never have accepted the '"odds and ends" of work', which Sidgwick mentions, had it not been that he thought they were likely to help him on to something more permanent. Claims to have realised that there was no room for him in Cambridge, 'especially as McTaggart has taken up a line nearly identical with [his] own' and he thought it better to look for employment 'outside'. Looking for work outside Cambridge was, he maintains, against his natural inclination, and 'has so far ended in failure'. Having got over his disappointment in relation to this failure, he is now looking forward with great pleasure to 'a quiet period of more congenial work in Cambridge.' Refers to his 'fundamental defect', which, he believes, Sidgwick has characterised very well. Thanks him again for his kindness. Claims to have never expected much from him, because he disagrees with him in general opinion, and because his habits of thought and expression are rather antipathetic to Sidgwick's.

Says 'an unwillingness to intrude' upon Nora's great sorrow has prevented her from writing until now. Asks her to let her express her deep sympathy with her, and her own grief at the loss of 'a friend and teacher so revered' as Henry. Refers to his kindness to her and to others, and the affection so many had felt for him, and says that one of the great privileges of her life has been that she 'came under the influence of a mind so elevated, so gently, and so true.'

Postmarked London W. - Recommends "Somnifère Roche" [a sleeping drug] for which a prescription may be needed. Roberts on Bond Street keeps it. Thanks her for the cutting, which made him 'realize [his] antiquity'.

Catfield, Piccotts End, Hemel Hempstead, Herts. - Thanks Trevelyan for the 'delightful gift' [this year's "From the Shiffolds"?]; 'especially refreshing' to read these poems as they 'take one away to such peaceful scenes and memories' and it is good to forget the world as it is for a while. However, the 'year is ending rather less hopelessly than we should have expected a few months or weeks ago'. The Hammonds send 'warmest wishes' to the Trevelyans for Christmas and the New Year.

22 Primrose Hill Rd., London, N.W.3. - Is pleased to hear good news about Frazer's eyes and grieved to hear of the many operations; her husband [John Maxwell Image] says Lady Frazer makes the only good drumsticks he's ever been served, also commenting, 'I shall be glad when women get the vote, for then I shall sometimes get the wing of a chicken'; she has an article in 'Punch' called 'Burr-Burr', about telephoning from the Zoo.

Arborfield, Church Road, Wimbledon - Would like to know the origin of throwing the left glove into a Freemason's grave, and asks if Frazer is a himself a Freemason.
