Scope and content
Thanks her for writing to him 'in the midst of [her] anxiety.' Reports that [F.W.H.] Myers telegraphed him after Henry Sidgwick's operation. Claims to have been thinking about her a great deal, and declares he was 'utterly dumbfounded' by the news of Henry's illness, which was 'so entirely unexpected.' Expresses the hope that 'a life so useful and admirable and helpful to others may be prolonged to a reasonable length'.
