Scope and content

Although not wholly unprepared for the news of Henry Sidgwick's death, had always continued to hope he 'might be spared a few years longer'. Declares what a loss he feels it to be that he is no longer with them, and that the world seems to grow smaller without him. Adds that it is some comfort that he had done his work so completely, 'and that he will always live in the memory of those who had the privilege of being taught by him.' Refers to the kindness of Henry's in taking so much trouble on his [Mackenzie's] behalf 'at such a time.' Does not know wha the result of his writing may be, and states that he is 'now in direct communication with Lord [Arthur] Balfour on the subject.' States that his wife joins with him in sending thanks to Nora and in expressing his deep sympathy with her in her great loss.
