Scope and content

Expresses regret at the news that owing to severe illness Sidgwick is to resign his chair. Wishes him a speedy recovery from his illness. Refers to the sympathy and anxiety felt at this time by his former pupils, and to the positive impact which the teaching he received from Sidgwick had on him. Recalls the trouble taken by the latter in the early years of Sorley's Cambridge life, when he consulted Sidgwick 'on one or two personal matters.' Sends his sympathy to Mrs Sidgwick.
