Reports that the 'N.P.P.' was returned to him the previous night, and he sends her a copy of it [not included]. Declares that he enjoyed very much seeing her the previous day. Remarks that it is such a comfort, 'on this Greek question, to be able to see and to say, without reservation, how foolish and ignorant everyone is who does not agree with oneself.' States that he is glad that she is making progress with the book, [Henry Sidgwick, a Memoir] and looks forward to its publication. Desires that, through it, Henry 'should speak to a wider circle than his letters and talk could do.' Refers to Henry's humility, sympathy and intellectual power.

Typescript, "The Tragedies of Seneca"; title page has two notes by Harrison, recording that it is Stuart's dissertation [for his Trinity Fellowship, 1907] 'as it was sent in. All changes made by pen (except a few trifles) are subsequent. E.H. 9 Dec 1917.' and that 'marginal self-criticisms' are 'almost all due to [Harrison's] notes'.
