Scope and content
Writes to express his sympathy to Nora on the death of Henry Sidgwick, from whom he says he has experienced 'so many acts of kindness'. Refers to his great services to the subjects in which he is interested, and to the immense loss to economic science that his death must be. Says that he and other economists of a younger generation than that of Henry Sidgwick 'all looked to him constantly for a wise judgment which never failed to take every factor into consideration, and for illumination and instruction on obscure and knotty problems.' Refers to his books and writings and their contribution to the advance of economics.
