Scope and content

Reports that she has been reading Henry Sidgwick: A Memoir 'with great interest', and claims that she continually recognises things in it to be true of both Henry and Nora. States that his influence was great, and claims to be very grateful for it. Refers to the claim in the book that the poems The Despot's Heir and Goethe and Frederika are the only two poems ever published by Henry; she was given a copy of one 'said to be Dr. Sidgwick's from the Spectator', and wonders if her informant was mistaken about this.

Encloses a copy of the poem [98/2], beginning with the line: 'God speaks to hearts of men in many ways;' - copied from the Spectator, September 1872.
