Scope and content

Admits to 'a certain dread of M.S.S.' Thanks Sidgwick 'for the opportunity of early reflection' on his strictures. Places great hope in Sidgwick's volume [The Methods of Ethics?], and confesses to be glad not to have published his own lectures, before the latter gives him 'the chance of repentance and silence.' Hopes that he will not be inconvenienced by his keeping the M.S. a few days. Reports that he has to open their small college on Tuesday, and that he is expected to give the address. Expects not to be able to read anything until after Wednesday.
