Item 108 - Letter from Leslie Stephen to Henry Sidgwick

1 doc

States that he ought to have answered Sidgwick sooner, and that he had wanted to say 'yes, but...could not say it without consideration and obtaining permission'. Refers to his illness, and claims that he has been much better of late, but knows that real work would upset him again. Has decided not to pledge himself to anything, and advises Sidgwick 'to make definite arrangements with some less untrustworthy person.' Announces that he hopes to come to Cambridge on the Sunday of the following week and shall try to see Sidgwick then.
