Stuk 120 - Letter from J. Sully to Nora Sidgwick

Thanks Nora for sending him the letters [his own to Henry Sidgwick]. Is still reading Henry Sidgwick: A Memoir, and is grateful for the opportunity to know Henry's early manhood. Refers to Henry's visit to Berlin, the Franco-Prussian War, 'the reference to George Eliot', the references to the Savile Club and to the Stephens, and says that Henry's experiences in some way mirror his own. Declares that the 'compelling force' of the book is due to the fact that Nora has 'made him reveal himself more fully and more deeply to those who come prepared by some previous knowledge of him, of his mind and character.' Refers to 'a small printer's error' in relation to the spelling of the name of a German poet. Adds that he will be at the address given on the letter - Leinster Square, Bayswater - for only a day or two longer, and suggests that if she were write to him, she should address letters to 'University College, Gower St.'
