Item 61 - Letter from J. E. Nixon to Nora Sidgwick

1 doc

Writes to express his sympathy with Nora on the death of Henry Sidgwick. Reports that he heard the news while 'wandering about Ireland'. Claims that there is no one whose loss he could have deplored so much, and no one whom he respected so much either as a friend, a writer, or as a member of [Cambridge] University. Remembers with gratitude that Henry was good enough to keep up their acquaintance from their early undergraduate years. Believes that his character has left its mark on more than one generation of students at Cambridge.
