Item 129 - Letter from J. Venn to Nora Sidgwick

1 doc

Thanks Nora for the copy of Henry Sidgwick: A Memoir, which he has just begun to read; calls it excellent, and praises it for allowing Henry to 'speak for himself'. Refers to the admiration he had for Henry during his lifetime. Observes that Henry wrote several letters in a similar tone to that of the one he [Venn] received at the beginning of June 1900. Recalls that he himself was just recovering from a serious illness in a London hotel when Bradbury mentioned that Henry was also very ill; he managed to write a few lines, and got in reply a letter, which he still has in his possession.
