Cambridge. - Thanks Bessie for her letter; no doubt they will have opportunities of discussing some of her points [presumably written in response to Dickinson's dialogue, see 2/115]. Thinks the key point for him is whether there are some people who are homosexual with no heterosexual inclinations at all; he would agree with German writers that there are, since besides himself he knows at least two others. Believes Bessie may be right that women are ready to take a 'more reasonable view' than men. Does not dispute what she says about marriage - though of course he has no direct experience - but maintains that what he says about 'the other kind of love' has some truth in it. Doesn't disagree about the names, which can be altered. Is trying to work off his gloom with experiments in verse, and is reading more Shakespeare.
